Hi

All Bushnells come with a case and strap. The Legend also comes with push on objective caps.

Hi

Assuming equal quality, a porro gets a slight edge to a PC roof for optical efficiency (brighter, sharper) and price, but a roof gets the edge of for focusing, durability, handling and lifespan. If you are going to be using the bino hard, I would opt for the roof. Not going to be a huge difference in the optics on these two.

Hi

Very well. More an issue of feel and handling and that is very subjective. Either is a good choice at this price.

Hi

A harness can help if you are carrying all day and/or if you want to keep the bino out of the way when carrying other equipment. Pretty much a personal preference, though.

All of these are basically the same product, regardless of the name and come out of the same factories. Try the Eagle Optics.
