I didn't find a review of anyone on here using the Nikon TrailBlazers. I love the Nikon Monarchs and I want the 8x42, but then I seen the TrailBlazers, and they are much cheaper. So I wondered about the sacrifice in quality. Any reviews would be appreciated.

I compared the Trail Blazer's side by side with Bushnell's of the same price and found the Nikons to be much brighter. I actually bought the Monarch's however and found them for around $240 which is $100 more than the TB's but I really wanted the fold down front lens covers and more importantly fully multi coated over just multicoated lenses. I owned some 8.5 x 56 Monarchs which were wonderful but too heavy.
