Ultimate astronomy binocular?

Ever wonder what the ultimate astronomy binocular would be? There's a couple of binoculars I would like to test for that honor. One is the Nikon 20x120, though I'm not sure the folks in my apartment complex would want me installing a pier mount on the lawn. The temptation of 20x and a 6mm exit pupil, coupled with Nikon optics makes this one a possibility. The other one, though slightly more portable, is just about as much out of my reach, financially. Would love to see what the Kowa Highlander Fluorite could do on the stars, especially since I've had such good luck using Kowa spotting scopes for some informal astronomy. Plus, I wouldn't have to mount it, permanently, on the lawn.
