Binoculars

While I appreciate the choice of binoculars may be primarirly driven by personal choice and price I''d be grateful for any advice on the following:

Is it worth paying the additional $500 on the Fujinon Polaris w/compass vs the Fujinon Mariner w/compass? (or other "budget" binoculars - see below)

If I was to limit my budget to around $200, which brand of binoculars would you recommend / not recomend for coastal sailing. Choices seem to be Fujinon Mariner w/compass, Bushnell Marine w/compass, Steiner Navigator (no compass) Tasco Offshore w/compass. Are there others that I should look at?
