The 10x is only larger insofar that it has longer lens barrels which many people prefer as they are easier to hold.
They are excellent for use over open spaces and while not having the same width of view are in every other way as good as the 8x, at least mine are. Competition has just moved in last week with the arrival of the 10x Habicht, and it will be interesting which gets used most.

Sum it up for me.
After a year of forcing myself to use roofs most of the time, I am now a happy porro user again.
