Variable power binoculars

[red-fin]

I have a couple pair of good quality 10 and 12 power binoculars. Looking for some inexpensive higher power ones so I don't have to carry a spotting scope to stand to zoom in and really judge deer. Looking at the Nikon 10-22x50 Aculon binos, or the bushnell Legacy same power. Does anyone have any experience with these or another inexpensive variable type? Thanks

My wife has a pair of Nikon 10-22 she bought 10+ years ago. She like them better than she likes my Zeiss 10 x. I don't but for the price they're good.

Anyone else before I buy and try?

I had the Nikons and loved them. Dropped and broke them several years ago and replaced them with fixed power just because the variable were not in stock.
