Nikon has upgraded the Monarch line with two new bins called the Monarch X.
They come in 8.5x45 and 10.5x45. and they now use a dielectric coating on the prisms. So a bit more magnification and light gathering all around, I'm going to assume the rest of the glass is the same. They also went to a
Swarovski style open body construction. No word on whether they improved the eyecups. They are at around the $600 dollar range.

Just a heads up for anyone shopping in this range, I think they're brand new. Anyone else heard about them?
