I have the Steiner Peregrine XPs and absolutely love them! In fact I chose to buy them over the Swarovski because the optical quality was identical but the cost was less and the guarantee was identical. Last pair of binos I will ever have to buy.

The Predators were my next choice. I would rank them above the Nikon Monarch and Leupold line but just below the Swaro line (unless you go with the Peregrine).

That is exactly my thinking as well. I am looking at buying some 10x42 and the stieners are the ones I will get. 100 bucks.....if you don't want them, I'll take them. ;)
