I had a pair of Swift Plovers around eight years ago. They were decent budget binos.
I saw your thread in another forum about getting a second pair of kick-around binos. Do you wear glasses -- require good eye relief? Do you have narrow set eyes -- need to get down below 58mm IPD. That will change your choices.
As I remember the Plovers didn't have extensive eye relief and the oculars didn't get close enough together for me. If those aren't issues then the Plovers are okay, but not any better than other choices you mentioned.
