Best viewing angle and clarity and brightness of any pair. BUT - the rolling ball effect is nauseating and impossible to live with. So if you're sensitive to motion sickness, pan and scan and don't want to throw away your cookies, go for the HD Diamond Back Swirl. While the viper hd looks just as good visually as the monarch 7, it also has a rolling bullet effect and is tighter in focus and body, and heavier. The Styrka 7 looks just as good visually, but has a "cardioid" effect and an even worse rollball effect. No other pair for under $450 has the sleekness Lightness and brilliance of the Nikon Monster 7 or 5 8x42, except for the diamond-back HD 8x42. Trust me I've tried them all. But if you can live with the rolling bullet effect, the Monarch 7 is the perfect bin set. And it has a wonderful pocket that's perfect for your belt loop - although velcro is silly because it's so damn loud! But the looks are phenomenal, the grip is great and they're nice and light. If they could just add a bit of pincushion distortion to fix that obnoxious ball roll effect, that would be the best. Was so stunned.

If only they could add a little bit of pincushion, to fix that obnoxious ball rolling effect, that would be the best. Was so stunned.
