Go to stores where you can try the glass outside, look down the road. Go late in the day at lower light. Compare how different binos work with your eyes. Yes you do need to set them up later for your exact eye line but still worth it. Try as many as you can. Glass is an investment. Yes more expensive brands often have more expensive marketing to cover. But more times than not the glass quality and performance at low light will be worth it. Try some swaros, leupold and zeiss binos. They are worth holding off and saving up for in my view. The amount of times I've spent more upgrading than biting the bullet up front on a quality investment.
You might even be able to pick up some good condition Swaro ELs as there has been a range revision. The Swaro NL Pure are even better but $$$. Some people will ve upgrading so keep an eye out (excuse the pun).
