I am about ready to step up to a better pair of binoculars after using a 
micro pair for several years.  I'm trying to figure out if 8x42 or 10x42 
will better suit my birding needs.  I'm looking at several between $200 
and $300 and would welcome any input based upon the experience of 
others.  Please respond off the list.

Thanks,
Bob in Barre
