If I were in your position, and I have been on many occasions as I go through buy then sell periods of my optics life, I would look on the used market. There are many Swaro SLC's, Leica Trin, and Zeiss Classic T*P* on the market that can be had within your budget. All the above glass is still very comparable to even the newest by there manufactures and can be found with little use at all. Also, another suggestion would be to look a Nikon products. The Premier LXL's and Superior E's can be found new for your budget and I think many here will tell you that both these bino's will rival any!</p></blockquote><p></p>
