For $800 or so, either Zeiss, Meopta, or a used pair of Swarovski.
Buy a set of 10x42 or something close to that size and don't be scared to buy a used set. Any good glasses will have a lifetime guarantee.
If you are willing to spend $800 on a pair, spend $800. Don't drop down to a $500 set to save $300. If you kept a P.O.S. pair for 15 years lets assume you will keep a good set that long too. Eight hundred divided by 15 is $53.33. Will you get $53.33 of use out of a set of glasses per year? If you answered yes, go ahead and spend $800.
