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?

I really like the 286 because of the price and how small it is. I know the other ones are pretty bulky. This is my second one. The first one lasted for 15 years. I can't say what the best selling model is, but as far as price goes, the 286 is very sturdy and one can fold it up and put it in a corner.

Hi Laurie, I am honestly not sure but for me personally I always go with the newest model of anything I buy. My thought process is a new feature or something was improved for it to have changed. This is lightweight, easy to fold down for transporting, pulls with ease and most of all my Wheaten loves it!!!

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.

As far as I know they are not recieving the new updated model and I just base that on others peoples reviews here on amazon..The new 275lm model just came out a few months ago I think...if you ask me I think people will keep getting the old model until they run out.

If the model number is the same, then they are the same!!!!! However, you cannot prove if a figure like 32x is honest or not. Just read the previous reviews thoroughly & you will find that this device is the "best" device of its kind on the market. Multiple reviews will give you the best indication of how good a product is. Look at the negative reviews & "sift" them to see which ones are valid complaints. Every product has some sort of limitation. Even though I know that the Eub9603H is the best device of its' kind, you may have unique demands that may give you results that are not like most other reviewers. Just remember, if the order is fulfilled by AMAZON, then you can return it if you have problems. The price is not as important as "customer service".... Good Luck.

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

Forgot to mention I paid over $75 more for mine used through Warehouse Deals. It was just a dinged up box model, but I've never seen the price as low as it is now brand new, anywhere! Buy it fast, it's over $100 more mid-winter!

I gave up waiting for the Coby and bought the Archos 101. I think I may have been happier with the Coby but the 101 is nice.The screen is a little bigger on the Archos, but I feel I would have liked the 8" screen just as well. For those of you who wait, let us know how you like the Coby.

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.

We ordered the Ultraship 75 (even though some of the pictures show the 55), and we got the 75. I think if you look at all the pictures for the Ultraship 35, 55 and 75, they all have some of the wrong pictures shown. But they all look the same. We use the 75 a lot and it is a beast, it can take very heavy weights and it is still quite acurate down at the less than ounce weights. Actually, we have two of the Ultraship 75 units. I am pretty sure if you order the 35, you will get the 35. If you order the 55, you will get the 55 and if you order the 75, you will get the 75.

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.

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.

Hi! They are both exactly the SAME DESIGN - the only difference being the finish in the 312B sporting a synthetic woodgrain look (either the walnut or other 314B). Interesting enough, although the difference is by having just a layer of something wrapped or sealed into the resin, it's widespread knowledge that somehow the 312B and 314B with the synthetic woodgrain finish ACTUALLY sound better.I forget what the material is made of but if you touch a 302 and a 312/314, you will feel that the latter is cooler to the touch AKIN some metal low conductivity metal. But do not quote me on this. Hi! They are both exactly the SAME DESIGN - the only difference being the finish in the 312B sporting a synthetic woodgrain look (either the walnut or other 314B).

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.

On my screen, the $59 option shows it's for a 24 pack of 6-quart bins. Since I ordered the $28 option and therefore know for sure you'll receive 12 bins, I recommend going with that option, if interested in this item. Even if what you want is 24 bins, ordering 2 of the 12 is still your best bet. It will come to $57.56 versus the $59 for the 24 pack. Also, if you're debating ordering these bins, I do recommend them. I purchased them about 4 months ago to store my scarves, which in this weather means I open & close them often. They're still latching w/o issue. I'm glad I purchased them!

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.; I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s...
