I love my Vortex Razor HDs. There is a set on the EAST here for a good price. I have no horse in the race. If they are too much $$ I'd grab a pair of Vipers. I looked through them when buying my binos and they're a great deal at the price point and have great glass overall. I just noticed a slight improvement in the Razors and to my eyes I couldn't see any difference between them and the Zeiss and Swaros that I looked through. The Leicas were nicer in my eyes (literally) but twice the price.
If you can buy them from a place that will let you return them and grab all three pairs and try and look through them in real world conditions. Eg at dusk and dawn or low light, one will reveal itself as the best for you. Return the others. Not all people's eyes are the same and what works for you might not work for me, so like shoes you will have to try them out. Preferably outside and in varying light conditions.

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard
