I don't have any experience with the binos, but I used the ED2, Non-HD spotter for two years, and I was pleased with it. I would say if you're debating between it and the Vortex Razor, go with the Zen-Ray just because it is about half the price for almost exactly the same thing IMO. If you compare them side-by-side, there is very little difference. I went to a Swarovski this past year from the Zen-Ray, and the Swarovski is definitely better in the higher magnification ranges (between 45-60x), but there would be minimal difference below that magnification point. At the price point, if you don't mind a little heavier scope (my main reason for changing to the 65mm Swarovski), you won't be disappointed. It's well made, functions pretty much like the Razor, and has a much better cover than the Razor as well.
