Nikon HGL 10x25 should be added to your list.
 
I would go with the Zeiss. I had a chance to check them out recently and their awesome. I also really like the single hinge design. I’ve always disliked the double hinges on compacts
 
Hi,

I think Alexis' advice is the best... get a budget pair to test if 10x25 is for you... or try a friends pair...

If you start trying a few models it can be worthwile to investigate also the Bynolyt Seagull 8x25 ED or 10x25 ED, around 300 euros and surprisingly good.

Thanks for the hint, Gijs.
I so far have not come across that brand.
How would you rate the Bynolyt against similarly priced same size competitors, esp. against the Terra?

Canip, post 9,
Bynolyt is a Dutch binocular brand exactly like Kite Optics is a Belgian brand. Both companies do not make any binoculars by themselves but they have their binoculars made by different optical producers in Japan, China, Taiwan etc. This weekend I had the opportunity to compare briefly the Zeiss 8x25, Swarovski 8x25 and the Bynolyt Seagul 8x25 ED. My quick inspection made me conclude that Swarovski was the winner, but if you compare optical performance and handling comfort and price I would immediately go for the Seagull 8x25ED or 10x25 ED.

If the Victory Pocket 10x25 is anywhere near as good as the 8x25, it's a no-brainer indeed.
 
temmie, post 12,
I left something over for you to detect, since I can not at such a short time after our Sint Nicolaas celebrations give a strong test report, but how about:
overal optical quality, handling comfort, ease of view, immediate feeling when using it? I did not consider wallet pain.
Will be continued.
