CRAZYBUCK Report post Posted May 15, 2014 I'm sure this has been talked about before but I am getting ready to upgrade and is the 600 dollar difference worth it? Is the glass that much better? I have looked threw the both inside a store and can't see a difference I will be getting the 12x50s if that matters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dustin25 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 I'm my opinion, the razors are definitely not worth twice the price of the vipers.the razors are a little better to the edges and a tad brighter, but if someone's not proficient at finding game with glass of the vipers quality I think its much more a matter of skill level and technique then a problem with bino quality. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SWDesertRat Report post Posted May 16, 2014 I owned the Vipers HD 10x42 and they worked great for me. I really liked the light gathering and clearness. However, I sold them once I got a pair of 10x42 Razor HD. The Razors are hands down, a better low light with crispness edge to edge bino compared to the Vipers. Will the Vipers suit your needs? Absolutely! Are the Razors worth the extra money? Depends on what you pay and what you're looking for. I say buy the Vipers and use them for a few years, if you decide you want to upgrade then do it, however if you come across a good deal (like twigsnappers 12x50 for $950) then buy them and don't look back. Like any commodity, binos are worth the value we assign to them and are willing to pay. I would also encourage you to buy used since Vortex will repair and clean regardless if you're first or tenth owner. Either purchase will be a good investment in glass.
