Since 2000, I've had the Swaro 8.5x42 EL bins, and love 'em!

I like the optics, mechanics and ergonomics.

As far as magnification goes, I prefer something in the 8-8.5x range. 
Anything below doesn't magnify as much as I want; anything above makes me 
susceptible to hand shake.  Plus the light gathering (exit pupil) is a bit 
better with the 8.5x than the 10x bin.

Just my two cents!
