Gray,
You may have been following my threads as I have just gone through the same process. #1, You really should try them all yourself. If you have a shop that will let you take them both home for a day, so much the better.
I started the process with the Trinovid 8x32 which were on an incredible sale here in Kalispell. I really loved those binoculars for less than $1,000.00 and I put $600.00 down and put them on lay-away for a month.
I had tried the 8x32 Ultravid, liked the view better, but they were too small in my hands, and my hands are small. But I tried both the 8x32 Ultravids and the 8x30 Swarovsky ELs one more time. This time I came to the conclusion that for a once in a lifetime (for me at least), the optics of the Ultravids were appreciably better to the point where I should pay another $400.00 and buy them. Then I tried the 8x42 Ultravids (only another $100.00), and they were perfect for me. They were just large enogh to fill my hands comfortably, just heavy enough to be steady, but not too heavy, and best of all, the larger exit puple and more relaxed eye relief made them easier to get a steady no black-out view.
I know a lot of people swear by their 8x32 Ultravids so please keep in mind that my experience is personal to me, but I hope it helps.
