What is the best value in used high end binos right now ($1000+)?

[spacemonkey]

I've been using Zeiss Conquest HD for 4-5 years now and am considering upgrading to something like a used Swaro SLC 10x42. The Conquest have been great, seeing as I updated from a shit pair of Diamondbacks. I am not a big fan of the eye cups though. SLCs seem to be right around that $1000-1200 range. The EDs don't seem like they are that much of an upgrade from the SLCs, not for the price atleast.

Are there any other new/used glass in that low-alpha tier that I should be considering?
