I like that you chose all Nikon's! You can't beat them for the money. Those are all good choices. But isn't the Nikon 10x50 Gold Sentinel a little heavy for hiking? The Nikon Actions are an excellent value! I wonder how the Nikon EX Action 7x35 would be? Post a picture of your Nikon 7x35 E. I would like to see the condition. I had a Nikon Action 10x50 once and it was quite good. You have a lot of choices there for not much money!
