Default Eden ED 8X42 Bins

Having just read a very favouable review in August's Bird Watching Mag for the above bins and another review available online I might be tempted. Problem is they can only be bought online so no try before you buy. The other bins I have researched are Hawke 8X43 ED. There's obviously pros and cons with both. Anyone got any comments to help me please?

I havnt researched either, the weight would be a large factor for me.

Thanks for that. What would you consider a suitable weight please? I'm still umming and ahing. I need good eye relief because I wear glasses and want to use the bins with them on as by the time you've taken them off your subject has done a flit!!!!
