I am surprised you went so low in price when you had an $850.00 budget. The Sightron is a good $200.00 binocular but there are big differences between it and $850.00 class binoculars like the Leica Trinovid HD, Zeiss Conquest HD, Tract Toric HD or Maven B1. The Sightron is not as bright nor will colors be as vivid as either of the more expensive choices. One of the biggest differences between a less expensive binocular and a medium priced binocular is low light performance, resolution, contrast and of course build quality. As you move up in price you get better and better contrast because of better coatings. I think down the road you will be upgrading, whereas, if you had spent the $850.00 you might have had a lifetime binocular.
