Honestly, with a pair of diamond back HD’s you’ll be fine. I don’t think you’ll miss any animals that you otherwise would have seen with a pair of Swaros. Now if you are looking to pick apart feathers on a finch, that’s a different story.

I’ve got a pair of 10x42 vortex diamondbacks and I really like them. Nice clear glass. My only complaint is that they fog up occasionally if it’s really cold.
Was a huge fan of these until I bought a used pair of the previous generation endeavors and this is what vanguard told me when I attempted to send them in for repair.

Wow!!! When I sent mine in to get fixed they just sent me a brand new pair. But they weren't a old discontinued style either
I didn’t expect a free replacement or anything but I was at least hoping for a discount or something. They aren’t even that old of a pair I’d say they are maybe 10 years old because they are identical to the new endeavor ED except they don’t have a hinge on the front like the new ones do.

Bushnell Legend 10x50 works great for me. There not light but very clear.

I know this is a really old thread, but I'd like to give what's probably the cheapest alternative.
I've been using a pair of Delta Optical Forest II 8x42 through one really rough season now. Through bush, snow, water. I spot capercaillies from 1000 yards with them. They were definitely worth the money, although I probably will upgrade in the future.

I still have my old Zen Rays. Probably still the best bang for my buck I ever got in optics.

For $200 budget range there have a few binoculars here like Bushnell 121225, Sightron SII Blue Sky, Vortex 10x32 Raptor, Leupold BX-1 McKenzie etc. But all of them I think Sightron SII Blue Sky 8x32 is better one for hunting purposes.
8x magnification. 19.8 oz weight.
