Ed,
Of all the other binoculars that I've tried one other that stands out for the quality of its edge performance is the Zeiss 15x60 B/GATs.

John,
Without a doubt these are the best medium/large astronomy binoculars I have used, which includes almost all of the premium contenders previously mentioned. These have outstanding unsurpassed performance in every criteria and it's unfortunate they took them out of production a few years ago, when at the time they were clearly the best medium/large astronomy binocular money could buy. Notwithstanding the high price tag, there was still a market for them at the top of the tree.
Second hand these would be a great buy, but I doubt you will see them offered. Whilst there are quite a few pair of these out there, except for deceased estate sales, no one that owns them will ever sell them.
Cheers
