Zeiss Conquest HDX best value for under 1k?

[Despotes]

Need binos mostly for bow hunting whitetails and observing deer near dark (8X42).
The Athlon Cronus G2 UHD is another much less expensive contender as is the Maven B1.2(10X42)
Update: Now throwing the 8X40 SFL into the mix.

Value and glass don't matter if the warranty isn't backed up. See posts in Optics regarding their warranty.. I am rethinking my Zeiss glass moving forward....

Take a look at Nikon Monarch HG, best glass at the price point, imo. Can often be found for ~$600 used. I've looked through the HDX and I like the colors better on the Nikon's. The Nikon's also have a best in class field of view.

How would you compare the Nikon HG to the Maven B6 optically?
