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?

Its not the "cheaper version" its the new version without those features. You can find Hoover models with these items, I think its called Anniversary Edition, at WalMart and its like $125. I lucked out - went to Blain's Farm & Fleet and they had an "old" box in among the new ones....lo and behold, my version is the 2008 and has the headlight and bag full indicator. So I'm a lucky guy. BUT after having these features I can tell you I would not pay an extra $50 for them.....just open the panel every once and awhile and feel to see if the bag is full, and turn on the freakin lights in your room when you vacuum so you don't need a "headlight". Its disappointing that Hoover is removing these INEXPENSIVE TO BUILD features but my guess is this model was TOO MUCH OF A VALUE and they want to incentivize people to consider the Anniversary edition or other more expensive models by making you "compromise" and "do without" your headlight and bag indicator.....

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

Looks like some sellers have the queen on sale at the moment. The cheapr queen prices may only be available for a limited time.

I have both the 733 and 660, the 660 is more energy efficient and moves more air at quieter volume levels than the 733. The 733 is fine for a fan that you want to hide away in a corner, but the 660 is much better looking so you'll not mind having it out in view of others. The 733 has an older analog switch with only 3-speed settings, while the newer 660 has a sleek digital 5-button setup with 4-speed settings. Overall the 660 is just a far superior fan with a more efficient electric motor and it's ability to move in any degree of position from horizontal to vertical...not just 3 like the 733.

I don't believe there is a difference at all. They appear to be the same and the dimensions are the same. Sometimes a product doesn't get removed or updated when there is a change, so it's probably the same one at the "original" price. This is a great stroller, especially if you have multiple smaller dogs that like to ride together but it really is only usable on a good surface. It doesn't turn so well on dirt roads and such and doesn't get much traction.

I recall when I bought my 9001 a newer version was also available. The newer one didn't seem to be any better than mine other than it was a slightly better looking unit. I don't remember other details other than aesthetics. I love my 9001.

I have a 214+ and it is more than enough for home use. The 713+ can use an expansion unit to make it up to a 7 disk RAID. The 415+ is the newest of these models. The second two digits in the model number is the "model year", the first digit refers to the total number of disks the unit can support in a RAID configuration.

Great, please let me know when you get your new ones!!!; I've got a hole burning in my pocket I fear, because I've been trying to rationalize the purchase of a pair of the "new" ones, too. I keep thinking that the Monarchs are so light and solid that I having the Monarchs at a "closer" view might just rationalize my investing in a pair of 10 X (name the lens)...I'm leaning to a 42 or 50....but I have a useless (too heavy old style, Swarovski Habicht molded porro prisms) 10X50s and my Monarch 8X42s just lifting them up to find a plane taking off and hearing them overhead and raising the bins to my eyes and pointing towards the sound all in one motion is fantastic...I love that ability...and I have glasses with astigmatism in the correction too. I just love the ease of use of the 8X42s....so I'm imagining the 10X42s would be wonderful too.but an extra $300 for just a one level bump in magnification? Whitneymuse...

Ithink the only other differences are cosmetic. There is a tray/storage in the -2 model below the console that doesn't look like it's there in the earlier model. Honestly though, I think the main value in the extra cost is the improved console. Based on earlier reviews that liked the unit but criticized the console as small and unresponsive, I thought the extra $100 for the newer version would be worth it. The new console is large, nice & informative, and works great.

I just got off the phone with Health Check Systems and customer service did not know. She gave me a "cookie-cutter" answer to tell me that the 2013 and 2014 were the same model but I know they are not. One of the pictures posted shows a 2014 model but there's no guarantee that is what you're purchasing and will receive. They could be trying to get rid of older models. It's a gamble if you order through them.

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'd like to add a little additional information to the excellent explanation from Jaygyver. I have both drives, an older WD1002FAEX and a newer WD1003FZEX. When I purchased the WD1002 model it was priced about the same as the newer model is today. I believe the current price disparity is due to two factors: the differences in suppliers as described by Jaygver, and also a design change. I noticed that my WD1002 was slightly heavier than the WD1003, and after some research discovered that was due to the WD1002 having two magnetic platters while the WD1003 was a newer single platter design. Evidently the WD engineers were able to simplify and hopefully improve the design. For me, both drives perform excellently and I'm equally pleased with both. However, I have seen discussions on certain tech forums in which intense gaming purists believe the older two platter design is better, and that WD changed the design simply to cut manufacturing costs. Thus the high prices for the WD1002 is due to it's scarcity (since it's now discontinued) and their belief that it's slightly better in both performance and ruggedness. As I said above, however, both perform equally well for me, and they're both Western Digital Black Series with 5 year warranties, so it's a no brainer to go with the best deal price wise.

Yeah you are right from last 4 weeks prices at amazon are hovering between 1799 to 1899. Last weekend for couple of days BB decreased the price to 1799 when it was 1899 at amazon. But before i could get hold of the price they increased it back to 1999 (saturday midnight). Let see if it comes back down again by this weekend. I don't see amazon going below1 1799. The similar model LN46A860(Toc Blue) is being offered for 1599. Don't know why, but id prices don't settle may be i will go for this model. tech Specs are same.

If you compare prices you'll find you can buy this upgraded unit for around the same price as the older unit if you're including shipping. In my case I didn't need $35 worth of stuff at this time... and this unit actually wound up costing me $2 less than the older one by the time shipping was paid. Pro-shopping... it's almost an artform. :D
