Check the website for Orion telescopes, they have one of the largest offerings of Binoculars for Astronomy.
As has already been pointed out, Binoculars like the one's you mention need to be mounted. Two reasons: 1. They are heavy. 2. Most people have trouble keeping 10X binoculars steady enough to see anything, at 25X you'll be shaking all over the sky. Don't forget, when the optics magnify an object 25 times, they also magnify any errors, such as your hands shaking, 25 times.
But all is not lost. There are a number of binocular mount designs on the web for free. If you are handy with tools, you can make one yourself. Otherwise you have to purchase a commercial mount, which can cost as much as the binoculars.
Good Luck!

They both have the same magnifying power, the 25X100 will gather more light but you will need a rock steady tripod to mount them on.

Hi. High power like 25x requires a steady mount. Optics, if they are equivalent quality, would yield brighter images in the larger objective lens size.
