Here is a picture of the Nikon 7x50 porro binos and the vortex diamond back 12x50. The vortex are slightly smaller but they are heavier.

Your field of view starts to drop drastically as your magnification goes up. I find that the larger magnifications are more useful for looking AT things that you have already identified with your smaller ones. No matter which ones you decide on, pick the ones that are best for YOU. Try all the brands and all the models (+/- a reasonable amount from your price point). Some will say that $300 dollar leupolds are way better than the $300 dollar bushells, but maybe the leupolds give you eye strain and the bushnells don't. "Better" is relative to you, not what others say. Good luck and I hope you find nice optics.
