Both are very good binos, either one will make you very happy, I have looked through both and they are awfull close in regards to clarity and edge to edge shaprness. You might also want to check out the pentax dcf-sp or dcf-ed line. I have a pair in 12.5x50 dcp-sp's and cant say enough good things about them. I put them next to my buddies swarovski's 10x42's and there was VERY, and I mean VERY little difference between the two, he was amazed at the clarity. However to ansewer your question go to cabelas or bass pro, hold and look through them. Take them outside if possible you will get better views outdoors
Good luck let me know what you chose
