Delta Titanium 9x45 HD LRF vs Vortex Fury HD 5000

[Sampo]

Been looking at range finding binos and was wondering if there was anyone who has done a side by side comparison of the two. Vortex with its VIP gurantee is great but I am not sure of its low light performance at dawn and dusk. Delta has a 10 year gurantee and have heard that its optics during twilight is almost at par with that of the premium brands. Curious to hear of any reports or personal views from people who have had the chance to try both and their preference.

Wish there was an option to borrow either of these for a day or two to head to the park to give it a try both at sunrise or sunset. Below is what I could find so far.

I have never seen the delta but own the fury’s.

I have put them side by side with @NickJ ’s Swaro EL LRF and whist candidly there is a difference, it’s isn’t the chasm you’d expect at the respective price points. They stack up very well.

I can’t say as they seem to be much different at dawn/dusk than most binos I’ve used and I was on SLC’s for many years. The issues I’ve had reported with the vortex is being prone to damage to eyecups, but with a lifetime warranty I don’t worry (in any event, haven’t had an issue).

As above, I havnt tried the delta's but own the vortex's. Have looked through swaro and vortex at same time, near dark, and not a great deal of difference between them.
I did have an issue with the display on my furys once. Sent them back and new pair with me 4 days later. Cant get better than that.

Ive got the Deltas, never tried the Vortex. Very happy with the Delta’s, excellent range finding, build quality, wee bit bulky maybe but you dont really get slimline range finders. Used them side by side with a mate who uses Swaro RF’s and in his words “why did I bother spending an extra grand”, the difference was so marginal.
Try and have a look through them both though as only your eyes will find the preference.

I had the Delta's

Great glass and the range finder was excellent.
I couldn't see any difference in them a to a mates Swaro's

As above they are a little chunky, but thats the compromise with RF binos.

I now have Coins Delta's, excellent glass and RF.
