Looking at getting some new binoculars. What is the optimal power/size? I've been carrying 10x42. Debating between another pair of those or going to 12x50. Any recommendations? BTW - looking at Vortex, or maybe Leupold. Vortex seems to have pretty good reviews.

I have 8s and I have 10s. I swear there are more times I wish I had less than more.

So Cabela's has Vortex Diamondback 10x42 binoculars on sale for $150. Seems like a good deal.
Question - are these binoculars just "good for the money" or are the really good?

No bigger than 10 anything
Get the best glass you can afford
Watch the weight on some.
