Here's a comparison of star counts in the Beehive cluster - M44
Star counts through various sizes binoculars
actually a 10x50 does see considerably more than an 8x42. And especially the Fujinon 10x50 sees more than any other 10x50. So the jump to a 10x50 Fujinon is pretty substantial. It's still not as much as a 12x50 or 15x70.
A 15x70 will nearly double what can be seen in an 8x40. But your hand held only criteria precludes the use of a 15x70. I suggest a maximum of a 12x50, or IS if that appeals to you.
