All I can say is I'm thrilled with the view. I do notice the increased shake but I also notice the power increase in a very positive way. I do think I'm better off with a 9x than 10x just due to my age. Anyway I'm pleased as punch with them so far. I may have more to say about them later after I've had them awhile but they are so much like the 7x36 in handling that I doubt it. I did notice the 9x bin is about 1/4 inch shorter. The eye relief is different and easier for me to use than the 7x but I've completely trained myself with the 7x and no longer have partial blackouts on those either. I got lucky and made the right choice.</p></blockquote><p></p>
