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?

can't really say about the new one's...but I do own two older models, one about twelve years old and the other about five to six years old. and both of them have really nice (recessed inside the box) which lets out all the water with out having to tip your cooler...for some unknown reason to me, you can buy the 70 qt. cheaper than the 52 qt. would I buy another? 100% yes, I am looking for one right now

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.

I noticed the same thing. I don't think they are making them anymore and everyone is out of stock . The new LHB975 won't be out until May sometime. And may be until mid summer when you can get one. So it appears those vendors with this list $599 product jacked up the prices. Yesterday there were a couple refirb units and one used on Amazon for around $500. Today there were none. I just happened to look tonight late and a used unit came up for $518 shipped. Amazon Warehouse who guarantees it to work. So I snapped it up as I am ready to convert over and if the 975 is that much better can use it in my bedroom and get one of those. Very strange indeed. The used unit won't be available until Mar 20 so I'll keep looking and maybe things will open up again. Guess lots of others will too. Good luck or it might be awhile before we see something with this capability.

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. More same than different.

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.

Thanks, KS, for commenting about the similarities in the specs. I'm trying to decide between an 850/860 and a 750. And I gotta tell you ... in the store today, the picture on 8's sure seemed crisper and more 3-dimensional than on the 750. The 750 was outstanding, no question! But the 8-series took what I might call depth-of-field to a much higher level. But I don't value the thinness of the 8's, and I don't care about the sound (separate amp, etc). The prices are about the same (for my purposes). I just want the best picture, and the 8's looked better. Can you help me to understand why the 8's might have looked better to me?

230 is just suggested retail. Many places will sell it cheaper. It is the same item. The only little difference there might be is this might be last years model. They changed the logo on the newest one, that's the only difference. Don't worry

I tried both the 230 and 240 today at the local Dick's Sporting Goods store. The only 230 they have for sale is the floor model which has been badly abused. I really liked the 240 better. Better console and graphics, better seat. It's actually cheaper for me to buy the 240 locally and pay the sales tax than order from Amazon and pay shipping with the danger of having it arrive in pieces as many other reviewers have experienced. The difference in warranty doesn't really bother me.

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.

I have the 750NBK. It has the basket in the front. They are on sale right now at Amazon for $113. There are 9 available. The 750B is out of stock right now. I don't know if the 750B has the basket in front or under the seat. If the basket is under the seat, it is hard to fold up to take in car.

both are quality boards. My daughter has both. Pros for Penny: My daughter feels that Penny is smoother and a bit faster. Another plus for Penny is that you can customize just about any part of Penny board using customizer on their website. Last but not least plus for Penny is that it is infinitely easier to find spare parts. Pros for EightBit: EightBit is less expensive. EightBit flexes less (not sure if it is a pro, but I'd imagine it is a good thing). And finally a real life situation: My daughter's EightBit board was run over by a large SUV. All it lost was rear wheels with top hanger of a truck. Otherwise the board doesn't have any damage or cracks. And we're talking about weight of several tons! But its been at least a couple of months since I have contacted EightBits about this situation and provide the photos of the board and they have sent me only the wheels (free, which is nice, even though I didn't ask it to be free), but they still have not sent a truck assembly (or top hanger) because, and I'm quoting, "I'm sorry, we've had a hard time finding a replacement truck. If one comes up I will let you know. I apologize for the inconvenience.". So, a manufacturer having hard time finding a replacement truck? Seriously??!

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.

George: I was unable to find an on-line source for the specific model's user manual.It appears that Danby no longer makes this exact model.

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