Re: Pentax 20x60 PCF WP II (Prisms undersized)

Recently I and dropped broke my 15 x 70mm binoculars. Because of this I’ve been following this and other threads on the Pentax 20 x 60mm as I have been considering buying them as a replacement. To me these are a means to a close up view using a relatively low weight reasonably price instrument. The reviews on this site with the exception of this thread make me think that the quality and performance of this binocular is very good. Am I wrong about the reports on this binocular?
I certainly understand the disappointment in discovering that the characteristics of something like a binocular is less than expected. However, putting the potential loss of aperture and less than perfect exit pupil aside how is the view? Can you see a sharp flat field out to 90%? If the effective aperture turned out to be 58mm rather than 60mm would that outweigh a sharp flat field? Given the market, is there another binocular with similar characteristics at a like price?
If possible and given the large amount of positive comment on Pentax in general would it not be reasonable to return these for another sample?
Peace, thanks,
Anthony
