I'm not current on new models, but I've always found Pentax optics to be a very good value for the money.
I haven't personally tested these three compacts (all 8x25mm) but they were reviewed by a trusted colleague of mine. Any one of them would be a good choice.
Leupold Rogue (about $85)
Nikon Travelite VI (about $70)
Olympus Tracker PCI (about $80)
