Binoculars Oberwerk

Which is the better binocular telescope, Oberwerk 25×100 IF or the Celestron Skymaster 25×100?
I am browsing the net for my options on which astronomical binocular I can buy. I found a few giants and they’re indeed large for me. So I am hoping you can help me decide. I also opt for the Bushnell Legend 191250 since I already have a reflector. Please, any advice would be much appreciated.
There are a lot of large binoculars on sale now for suspiciously low prices. I tested a 25×100 binocular from a major name in astronomical optics, and it was of fairly poor optical quality. A good 100mm refractor will cost you several hundred dollars; a pair of them close to $1000. How good can these inexpensive big binoculars be?
I’ve compared Celestron 10×50, Orion 15×70, and Brand X 25×100. My first choice would be the 10×50, second choice the 15×70. Anything bigger than 15×70 is too heavy, impossible to hand-hold, and of dubious optical quality. Get a 100mm telescope instead.
