She went with Vortex because a good friend recommended them to her because of the warranty. You might just have to look through mine!

Yeah, maybe I will. By then I will probably have bought a pair though! Price range is a tough one for me, because I will go many seasons without them really playing any roll in my success. I've got pretty good "game eyes" at woods ranges, and usually a decision has to be made without giving the headgear a detailed glassing... that said, I can think of more than a few instances where they were vital. Basically, if I'm going to be packing them a hundred kilometers or so between situations where they are actually important, then I think the emphasis should be on portability more than anything else.
At this point I am sort of leaning towards the 8x32 Prostaffs, the glass seems good for the price and I found them to be very light and compact, even for 8x32's.
