I just bought a pair of the Minox 15x58's with a tripod.  I got them from Doug at CameraLand in NYC.  Price was about what you're quoting.  I didn't get them in enough time to really hash them out before leaving on my trip to Adak, but I used them up there and they worked out very well.  The guide was impressed as well.  Much better than a spotter as far as comfort goes.  I used a Bogen tripod and the adapter comes with the binocs.  Sorry I can't be of more technical help, but they worked well for me.  Can't wait to try them out on a western US hunt.  I really wouldn't want to use them without the tripod, tho.
