For Coty,
Vortex Bantam were recommended as quality bins for students, and meet your
qualifications. I tried them briefly (Dicks sporting goods) and liked them
alot. Last year, these $100 binos were offered directly from Vortex at
their educational discount for $50/pair.
Ask for a Vortex rep if interested.
For David. All binos make a dramatic difference when looking at the night
sky! I can’t recommend anything specific, but I love looking at stars and
the night sky w bins.
