Im triying to decide if I should buy one of the monarch models, since ive read that they are one of the best mid range bins out there, and I know that nikon is a excellent brand, but I wonder if there are some other bins of other brands that are very close in price range, and with better image quality. Ive heard good things about vortex, pentax WP II, minox BL, etc. but I have to admit that im drawn to the nikon brand because I know first hand of their quality lenses in photography. Are there any other bins that arent nikons in this range that I should consider buying instead.
