    This one has been bashed around before and it usually ends split down the middle. I have used both and both pairs have been quality glass and I'll take the 8x everytime. Easier on your eyes when glassing for extended times and better field of view with the 8x. The best glasses I have ever looked through are my buddies 8x42 Swaros, they might actually be 8.5, either way they are unreal.
    They laughed at my boots, laughed at my jeans, laughed when they gave me amphetamines
    Left me alone in a mean part of town, 36 hrs to come back down...am I the last of my kind?

    I have and use my 6X more than my 8 X when hunting close range.

    I use my 10 X more than my 8 X on med to long range.

    The 8X seem to be used for birding around the ranch a good mix for short range and med range.

    10 X 50, better to have too much glass than not enough...

    If you buy quality glass 10x is not hard on the eyes.
