I have never tried the 10x40 version but highly recomend the B7x40 version. Great binos for the buck with good to very good low light optics. The optics are very sharp and clear and remind me a lot of the Hensoldt 7x50, though they are not really as bright.
Good 3D feeling and large eyepiece linses.
If you happen to froget your hammer at home you can easily hammer nails with the bino Here Ye Here Ye or in case you run out of shots kill the boar by hitting him in the head with the bino Big Smile.
 
Nice eyepiece rubbers that melt with your face, fogfilters and pretty nice linsecaps and rainguards make them a valuable choice.
I saw one on Ebay for $120 which would be a really great price for such a pair.

Tested the IOR 10x40 the other day and I have been quite dissapointed by the result. I found them opticaly, clearly inferior to the 7x40. I would not recomend them.
