I told a local birding friend about these and he just ordered a pair. I hope I'll have a chance to test them in the next week.
I have the New Zen-Ray 2009 8x42 Summit so I thought I would see how much better the Atlas ED could be. For $350, could not resist.

Have you tried the Chinese EDs before? I can't remember if you have?
I spent a few minutes looking through a pair of Promasters in a store. There was nothing available for comparison and very little time so I didn't form any opinions.
The Atlas bins will be put through every backyard optics test I can think of. Hopefully, the results will speak for themselves.
Just saw another ED open bridge binoculars from Alpen, called WINGS

Anyone had experience with this. Spec is very similar to Intrepid ED or other binoculars that have been discussed here. It is much lighter at 21oz.
