Since Canadian prices seem higher than US prices, I don't know if this will help you but here is the Canadian vendor list on the RASC website:

The Bushnell Australis looks like one of the many similar Chinese imports sold under various brand names. Some vendors have more rigorous quality control than others.

Stay away from the zoom binoculars; they are universally accepted as being optically and mechanically inferior to fixed mag. binoculars.

Here in the US, the binoculars sold from Oberwerk (BigBinoculars.com) and Garrett Optical (cited in previous post) have good service and return policies. The Celestron 15x70s have mixed QC; some get lucky the first time, others have to return binoculars that are out of collimation. You may get lucky! Please read:

If They Look the Same, What Could be Different?

Understand that for best results, binoculars 15x and over need to be mounted on a tall tripod. If you want handheld views, 10x or maybe 12x is the usual limit.

Enjoy,
