In Bino's glass quality is everything but how they suit your eyes is also a major part of the combo.
So my main pairs of hunting Bino's are Leica 10 x 25 compacts ( I wear on my belt ) or Swarvo 8 x 32 EL's ( I wear on my chest in a Kuiu bino harness )
I love the Leica's as they're small'n'light glass is pretty good but I do wish they were 8 powers, the EL's are awesome with excellent glass, 8 x 32 are a great alrounder but you do need good glass to get the best out of 32's.
My Truck Bino's are Weaver Grand slam 10.5 x 45, I really rate these as budget binos, good weight & glass for the price.
In good glass the difference between 32 - 42 may only be five minutes of extra viewing, In lower priced it may be 10 plus, If you're set on low light then go for 42's, I've never tried Meopta binos but at $300 US they're mid range at best so go for the bigger option I reckon. If you're set on 32's go for 8 powers as I think 8 x 32 works better together.
Hope that helps
