What are the most reliable out there; including honoring warranty and long term service?
FWIW I have a pair of pre unification (mfg west germany 1988) REAL military Steiner Commander 7x 50s. Never found better optics, mind you I use them in both marine and land environments!
To date they have had 2 refurbs, the lastest this month being a full service incl lens cleaned, inter turret collimation, rearmour and a current compass (series III) with illumination installed. All for $180 AUD including freight and customs charges.
