15x70 Hand Held?

Interested in getting a pair of Oberwerks binoculars, but find myself still trying to decide between the 15x70 and the 11x70. I wear glasses, plan to use them to complete the AL Binocular lists under 3.5 skies and already own a pair of 10x50's. Not interested in putting them on any kind of mount at this point, realizing I'll end up propping them up against something when needed. Leaning towards the 15x70, but question if I'll be able to hand hold the extra magnification. What upper body strength there was, is now succumbing to gravitational forces. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

It is hard to hold 15x steady by hand withuot a tripod.
