After researching for about a month I decided on the Nikon Monarch 10X42mm and am very happy with my purchase. Excellent clarity for the price, good clarity until well after shooting light. Lightweight, have looked through them for hours with zero eye strain.
Pros: Excellent clarity over entire field of view. Excellent eye relief for eye glass wearers.
Cons: The cap covers on the viewing end are pretty weak.
