12x50 Vortex Diamondback binos are $259. What's the difference? Is the +$300 worth it?

Answered by Keeper, member, from WA, United States, on September 24, 2019

Hi,
As fa ras I concern, the Viper HD's would be an upgrade optically and mechanically over the Diamondback HD's. You can expect better low light performance, edge to edge clarity, resolution, and less color distortion. There is a fairly big jump between the Diamondbacks and Viper's - You will notice it the most in low light conditions. It is up to the user whether or not it is worth the extra cost. If you are using the binoculars a fair amount, I would say it likely is. The Diamodback's are still a great buy and commonly thought as the best bang for the buck in Vortex lineup.
Thank You.

Greg Walker, member, from NM, United States, asked on October 05, 2018

What is the difference in quality from the Viper 12 x 50 compared to the Razor 12 x 50

Featured Answer
A
Answered by Keeper, member, from WA, United States, on September 24, 2019

Hi,
You can expect the same upgrades from the Viper's to the Razor's as with the Diamondback's to the Viper's although, I wouldn't say it is as much. Being as the Viper's are already very good binoculars, the Razor's will be better, but not leaps and bounds. Once again, the biggest difference would be the couple extra minutes in low light, and some edge to edge clarity!
Thank You.
