I know there are quite a few threads on similar subjects, but I was wondering if anyone had any specific advice on which of these they'd go for? I'm specifically looking at bushnell natureview and hawke nature-trek, as I can get either for around £100.

Natureview roofs?

may work for a starter bino, but they are not phase coated. Neither is the low end Hawke.
If you can stretch the budget to 140 pounds, the 8x32 looks good

Bearing in mind that anything is an improvement over what I'm used too, I'm not too bothered about shelling out too much just yet (especially with three kids to buy pressies for this Xmas).
However if I can get something significantly better for a similar price I'd obviously be silly to ignore it. Delving a bit deeper I could get several PC roof prisms for up to about £150. I could get the Hawke's you mention for about £140. I have also found vortex diamondback's for around £150, opticron trailfinder II for £90 and Opticron Discovery WP PC for £120. Anyone have any thoughts?
