I'm looking to get a set of budget binoculars and I'm torn between the Vortex Diamondbacks and the Leupold BX-2 Alpines. I'm guessing the Alpines are new this year because I haven't found a lot of information about them. That is why I'm asking here. I know the Diamondbacks have a long standing reputation as being good entry level optics. These will be used for the once maybe twice elk hunt a year and whitetail hunting back east.
