I look at the 8 or 8.5X42 binocular to be the best all around choice.
The 42mm objective, just gives a larger, bigger, better view, and helps
you center the object you are looking at.
The 32mm, has its limitations for those with some vision issues.

Hello Jerry,
I think you mean that the 8/8.5x42 provides a larger image than the 7x, but I am not sure what you mean by better view. The exit pupil of an 8x 42 is 5.25 mm, which is smaller than the 6 mm exit pupil of the 7x42, and with the latter it is surely is easier to "acquire" the target, just as an 8x32, at 4 mm exit pupil is a little harder to line up. Is that what you mean by "helps center the object you are looking at"?
Happy bird watching,
