For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You really should be looking at either 8x magnification (smaller, lighter) or a maximum of x10. Anything higher is unnecessary, will suffer in poor light and will probably be too bulky. You have to decide between a conventional shape or roof prism and also what your budget is! Best makes are Leica, Zeiss + Swarovski but you can easily spend �500+ on a new pair.
I would go to a specialist retailer first to decide what you're really after and get some expert advice. Then try to find it on eBay!
