    The leopold binocs are pretty cool. Steady, good view and everything. I won't really be able to test them out until I get into the field. VERY light as well. Didn't expect them to be that compact.

    The legacy is slightly lighter (1.65 pds vs 1.7 pds) and there are only a handful of reviews on amazon and b&h (6 max) for the yosemite. The legacy has 60 reviews. No idea dude. Something subtle like that could be a deciding factor.

    Wouldn't the 8x42 give be better image quality vs the 8x30? also, not to follow in with popularity fallacy, but, more people have bought the legacy and hence more reviews from all these sites I am going on.

    I'm thinking of getting the legacy over the h20 bushnell porro and yosemite. That's what my gut is saying. It's got bigger lenses, middle price wise between the h20 bushnell and the yosemite.

    I am between the porro and roof versions of the H20 Bushnells, the bushnell legacy and Vanguard Endeavor. That yosemite is 6x, I feel like I'll need more magnification.
