Maven vs Swarovski Binos

[Athens]

Maven makes a high quality optic. better then Vortex and most other big name manufactures that I have looked thru, but everyone’s eyes see stuff differently. I currently have the b2 11x45 binocular and a rifle scope. I have no complaints about either one.
I used the demo program before I bought my binoculars. I had two pair sent to the house and got to use them for a week for the overall price of shipping. The demo program is worth it to give them a try in my opinion.

I tested the maven 11x45 B2s against the EL Range 10x42s and was amazed with the results. The mavens slightly edged the swaros at low light(not enough to matter in my opinion). I do feel that the swaros have a better edge to edge clarity in daylight as well as a very slight crisper image(not enough to matter in my opinion). To me, getting the mavens was a no brainer, but many will disagree. After doing a lot of research I would love to test my mavens against the 10x52 NL Pures, I think the NL pures will edge them out across the board(low light, crisp image and edge to edge clarity). Having said that the NL pures are 3700$ to my door and the B2s were under 1000$ to my door on Black Friday. Personally, I can’t justify a 2700$ price difference for a slightly better optic, I just can’t do it.

I attached the low light comparison of the B2s and the EL ranges that I spoke of above. The swaro image gets dark around the edges(top one).
