Glass is not top of the line but it is bloody good enough. They are not over priced so they do not have to be wrapped in cotton wool. I really liked mine.
IMHO they are a great bit of kit to use and apart from the size are as useful as any of the high end binos in regards to hunting. I have a set of swaro el range now but apart from the size I could easily go back to fusions.
After a while you may find you want something else and you can buy a set of the high end RF binos like Zeiss, swaro or leica
Personally, I would never buy a second hand set of Leicas in NZ. They would have likely been used as a target, in a huge circle jerk New in a sealed package should be fine.

That last bit is awesome
