Anyone familiar with the Orion Outsider or Orion Scenix binoculars? I've
been thinking about buying one of them as a gift for someone. Both claim
BAK-4 prisms. However, although the catalog literature on the Outsider says
it has a "sturdy cast aluminum, not plastic" housing, an Orion tech person
told me via email that it's really plastic!

Any recommendations for binoculars in the $65 to $150 price range? I'm
thinking about an 8x40 size.

Thanks,

Jeff
