I have now had a play with them and...They're very decent. They were a little brighter than my Trinovid BN's, but definitely not clearer - and it should be pointed out that my Trinovids are going off to Leica this week as they're starting to fog up (first time they've gone back in 15 years). Inevitably the Auroras are heavier - although not by a hugely noticeable amount, but they feel bulky in the hand and in the pocket compared to the Leicas. Alas, for the lack of an 8x32 spec in the Aurora range! Focusing was nice and crisp and the image through them was sharp, although I'd say at times in bright conditions (not bad today) the image was a little over-bright, making subtle shade changes in darker colours - the back of juvenile gulls, for example - a touch less defined than they were through my Leicas.
But they cut through the heat shimmer nicely and I could still comfortably ID stuff at distance. even with the slight over-brightness. So if you're looking to spend under £1k on some binoculars, then it should be a good contender - or second hand optics of something better! I picked my Leicas up second hand seven or eight years ago. Leica informed me they'd never been for a service before now, so that's a pretty impressive record for two owners and 15 years of service. So long as you know what you're looking for and can dodge the duds and filter out the fakes, I still maintain you end up with better value for money for the optics.
You can pick up the Trinovid HD's in 8x32 for £700. I've not tried them yet (next on the list!), so it'll be interesting to see how they compare!
