There were 14 other birders staying at a lodge and I asked if I could watch feeders through their various pairs. When I came back home I saved up a little longer than I oringinally planned and then used the "net" to order a pair of Swarovski. For me the main selling point was they were much "brighter" than mine and even most of the others I looked through when trying to pick out birds in the dark brush.
