Default Vortex razor hd 8x42

I was a WSS in calgary this past lunch hour and was looking at some binos, the Razors impressed me greatly.
wasnt a big enough difference between them and the swarovskis for $1200

Does anyone have a pair of these?

Pros
And
cons?

I have the 10x42 and used them last season with no regrets.

great bang for the buck, if they work for you, I liked Vanguard even more, but I am in ON, don't have to look too far...

Default 10x42

I have a set of the 10x42s, and have been using them for the last 3 seasons. Have been very happy with them over all. That being said, I just mailed them back to Vortex for some warranty work, as the rubber coating was starting to lift at the corners. Assuming there's no issues getting that looked after, I look forward to many more years of use with them.

Are they as nice top shelf Swarovski / Leica... No. However, price difference considered, I couldn't justify it in the binos.
