I haves pair of Meopta 10x40's and love them... best European glass I can afford. Very good in low low light and clear. I looked at Swaros, Vortex, and Meopta 15x versions on a tripod at Cabelas in Reno. At 1600 yards,the Swaros were the obvious winner. The Meopta's came in second. The Vortex have coating that made them appear brighter, but not clearer. My 10x40's have better low light capabilities than my entry level Stainers.

Seems most everyone is saying meopta looks like we have a winner

You are headed in the right direction. IMHO the Meostars are the best of the second tier Binos, not even close.

??? Not even close I don't understand what's not close

IMO Meostars are significantly better than the other so called second tier binos. FOV, definition, color rendition, brightness. Roll'em all up and the others are in a race for second place. Of course this is just my opinion and everyones eyes are different. Anyone contemplating the purchase of expensive optics should do as many side by side comparisons as possible.
