I find the Fuji 16x70 to be a difficult instrument to master as far as really sharp views. But when the sky is dark, and I just let it all go and look at dim stuff, the contrast knocks me out, and the views of easier object are ditch-the-scope satisfying. The recent version is lightweight enough to hand hold in my chair, so we struggle along. The Fuji 10x50 on the other hand, well you just stick it up there and instant happiness, but of course it won't show as much.

I agree with you on both bino's, Ron. When I realized the 16x70's were excess to me was when I compared them directly with the views through my 20x110's. There was no comparison! Obviously, comparing the two is no comparison, but you know what I mean. The big Garrett's are as you describe the 10x50's- just throw 'em up there; I'm amazed with them for the quality of the views for the price. I also have a pair of the Fuji 10x50 FMT-SX's, and agree with you- those are, indeed, keepers for me as well.
