If you're in the market for some 10x50s, I don't see how you can go wrong with either of the two you mentioned in your original post.
As you can see from my sig, I have the Pentax 10x50s, and have had them for a few years now. They are our general purpose binocs- my wife and I use them for hiking, nature, astronomy, etc.
The rain / fog proof feature has come in handy more than once. I don't mind being out in the rain, and it's nice to not have to worry about your binocs if a shower blows in.
Just my 2 cents.
edit-
This is the report that helped me decide on the Pentax 10x50s-

(page 8 in particular)
But please note that the review there is for the Pentax PCF WP 10x50, and by the time I made my purchase, the available model was Pentax PCF WP II. Which is a nice little "oops" on my part, but I'm still quite happy with the WP IIs...
