It's a personal use thing. 10x is about the maximum for handholding. The 
17mm eye relief really is a plus. I considered the 8x version but really 
like the extra reach. I use them for boating, hiking, etc. as well as 
birding and keep them in the truck with me. I like to sit down,in a good 
spot and slowly glass for wildlife. Surprising what you can spot if 
you're patient and have good optics. I do have the tripod mount for this 
purpose. I use it on my monopod and it really helps steady. My arms get 
too shaky after about 10min handholding. I still have my little Nikons 
but never use them any more even though they are small and lighter.
