Cons: Not weatherproof. Rainguard is a bit of a nuisance and doesn't fit well. No status points with the Big 3 roofer crowd (although the SE's preform as well or better than most of their competition).

Pros: Spectacular optics, as good as anything I've seen for almost four times the price.

Summary: Still one of the finest small binoculars made.

Cons: They don't have the newest pull-out eye cups, and with my eyeglasses they have to be centered properly or black out. I'm being very picky.

Pros: Incredible clarity, beautiful 3-D view, flat field, extremely bright for an 8x32, feel very familiar holding them, nice weight.

Summary: I've not looked through many other binos, although had a new Swaro 8x42 SLC-HD for a month. Optically I could see little difference, although the Swarovskis were more eyeglass friendly and sl. wider field. The Swaros were only slightly brighter at dusk and did not have the 3-D view of the Nikon porro. I've also used an Leica 8x32 Trinovid which frankly didn't come close to the Nikon SE 8x32. The Nikon SE's (I've also had a 10x42) are optically superb and feel great. The price is right also.
