Your question is on point for me, too. Finally found a review where someone had both binos; concllusions was there was a "subtle" difference in low light for him. I finally purchased the "old" model. I ow) n Swarovski binos, too. The Porro prism variety and they are great in low light; so heavy (10X50that I have the lolster and mount them on a monopod to use them. Just could not wait and I love the weight, clartiy and eye relief of the old model 7430. It was worth not going for the 7294 for me.

Now you can buy both Nikon binoculars ( 7294 - 8x42 and 7295 - 10x42 ) for almost the same price at $279.95. Best price on the 7295 was at SportOptics at $268 and included free shipping. Found that price only " AFTER " I purchased mine. I had to pay almost $10 in shipping. Could have saved $20. Too, late now! Mine are in transit and are to arrive in a couple of days. http://www.sportoptics.com/nikon-monarch-atb-binoculars-10x42-green-7295.aspxTexoma...

I have been deliberating over the choice between the two bino's also, can't find reviews for this thing ANYWHERE on the net! Do the dielectric coatings really add that much? Really hoping this thread will get somewhere. And Whitney, could you post the link for the review you found?

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal.

The scanner hardware for both of the scanners is almost identical. While Epson touts the 750's coating, I have yet to see a test that shows there is a significant difference fromt the coating. The 750 does include the fluid mounting tray system but you can find an alternative at betterscanning.com. The additional software may or may not be worth add value. The Monaco software is not the best and it really isn't being supported by Xrite anymore. Silverfast is a nice piece of software IF IF it fits with your working right brain/left brain workflow. Most people either love it or hate it. Vuescan is an alternative. If I were doing it again, I would buy the v700 instead of the v750.

Sorry for the retort posted 10/30/'14. This is how the question was emailed to my address: Is this the same product I saw at Loews for 74.98$? Unfortunatelly, it was misread to be $74,980...wherein the "odd" response was given. The medium size is excellent, and holds a goodly amount for one person...for weekly disposal. Would consider the next size for two or more in the family...a superior, almost ?never wear out" unit.

Please visit this very informative website: http://www.birdwatching-bliss.com/nikon-monarch-binoculars.html They have a good comparison of several Nikon Monarch binos, charts and videos. Happy birding!

The 4930 cost more, is 5" smaller, and the controls are arranged differently. Other than that, I don't see much of a difference in the two. If you are looking for a model that will circulate the air in the room with some efficiency, keep it cool, and has simple to understand buttons, the cheaper of the two will work for you. I use mine in my masterbed room and that's a good 11' x 19'. Mine has kept my room well cooled during the hot summer months and keeps it cool. It works best in an area on the floor that it won't get knocked over by rowdy kids or out of control pets. Though my cats bumped me into mine and I knocked my over and no damage done. Works perfectly like the day I bought it. You just don't want to knock over any fan no matter what and place it on a firm level surface for best stability. Just my words of wisdom there, or call it the voice of experience. Save the extra cash and go for the model #4443 I'm sure you won't be terribly disappointed with the purchase.

I completely agree with Sandalsallyearlong, I had the 5914 and with all of the flimsy plastic parts, it broke after the second use. I got the 7411 after a lot more research, and have had no problems with it. However, I don't take it up and down the stairs. I think for the extra $50 you can't go wrong with the more sturdy 7411.

I sent it back to exchange for the 8770. I like Janome but this one is plastic throat plate among other things. Go with the 8770 (its the same as the 7330 Mongolia without the decal. It works great but does not have automatic tension. I love myths DC3050's for my beginning students, but the 8770 will do just fine and is put together better and runs smoother.

I had same question! I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s... I found that even the Gilsson website only had one product, but they used both names for it !? Finally, I decided to check prices for "used" & "new"... and found that both models were being sold for pretty much the same price after S&H was added. So, I'm concluding that they are one-and-the-same. The low price of UBM-1 is pretty deceiving... 'cause the S&H brings it over $20 total... which is about the same as UBM price range w/ S&H.

The original model had cost around $40. It appears that the newer model has been "cost reduced" (I have to leave that research up to other Amazon customers since I do not have the new one). From pictures, the new model appears to look cheaper.

Now, here is a kicker. On BH site it shows as DISCONTINUED! So what's the replacement if it's the case? I was hesitant to pull a trigger a couple of weeks ago when price was around $435 and obviously have missed the opportunity. However, if this is already an old model, I am very interested in a replacement.

I am confused by this as well. Why would the older, out-dated version cost more? It is not an antique!

The 7 in the 742 series denotes the mid-tier product, while the 8 in the 840 series denotes the top-tier product, which has more "features". Whether you need those features is up to you. There is also a 600 series available (640, 642), which is a lower-tier model.The 40 in 840 means it is a 2011-12 model, while the 42 in 742 means it is a 2012-13 model, so you are comparing two model years as well as two feature tiers. Go to mitsubishitv.com, where there are specification sheets available for comparison of the different models.

If space is an issue- the 55-4266. It is more compact and easily rolls on wheels for storage. A popular mid-range one is the 55-4700 which has everything you need. However, the most popular is the 55-5557. It has a longer bed, sits 15: off of the ground, has a sleek look, and has 4 springs for different resistance levels. Whichever model you decide on- know that most people want it to include a stand and rebounder, as well as exercise videos.

I love the 650, but the difference just appears to be the size and the addition of the broiling rack (which I have not yet used). And of course the price. I have room for the larger model and as I have it on a counter that is in the open, I also bought the cutting board that fits on top of the 650 as the unit gets hot on top when it is on. Given they have the same features and power, it should just come down to the size issue and your available space.

I am trying to decide too....The big differences I can see are the oversized pedals, backlit display, and a "better" seat. I tried the 230 at a store today...was pretty loose..but I do not think they built it very well and it has been super abused.Decisions, decisions!

Don't quote me on this but I don't believe much. I think that they are different model years. According to a Google search, they look nearly identical. When comparing their product specs, their product measurements are vary very, very slightly. I think the 700 is newer but don't believe they are appreciably different. I really enjoy my 700 and think it is a good buy. It was pretty easy to put together.
