This is my go to, when looking for recommendations on something, they have never steered me wrong. Although some of their recommendations have been a little higher priced than I am looking for. The background and notes the fellow took on testing all the various pairs of binoculars, is good and informative.
I have the Athlon's on order for our upcoming Alaska cruise in a couple of weeks. I was going to purchase the Celestron's to save a couple $, but they ended up costing more.
