I think you need to look through them before you decide. I had a set of Minox 7x42's and on several Tahr hunts with other guys had more than my fair share of "theres one" that no-one else had yet spotted - maybe if you are using your bino's to assess trophies then there are other factors at play.
When it came time to upgrade I visited every shop with bino's I could find between here and Chch, and looked through every set of Swaro's and Leica's in 8 and 10 power that I could find. For me, all the 10x models felt like I was looking through a tube, and I eventually settled on a pair of Leica 8x at Shooters Supplies - and got a demon deal, they are worth talking too !!
