what's the new about this version? and is it worth to spend more than couple of hundred dollars than the old version on this one?

As far as I know, the glass is multicoated, which is similar to have a high quality UV filter (like b+w). I have the first version and a b+w filter, which is better, if by some reason it gets scratched, it's something disposable, not like a lens. But who knows maybe they corrected some CA or barreling which would be a wise move, if so, then it would be worth the extra money.

The difference between this lens and the previous version: ============================================ The main update to this lens is in the Nikon mount, the AT-X 116 PRO DX-II has an internal silent focusing motor to allow the lens to AF on Nikon bodies that do not have an AF drive gear and motor. There have also been some adjustments made to the coating for slightly improved optical performance. Other than the optical coating change there are no changes to the Canon mount. The AT-X 116 PRO DX-II for Canon uses the same AF motor and AF drive system as the the previous model.

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.

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.....

Honestly yes it is worth it. You get ALOT more content on the new one and the second one is more of an upgrade to the Rocksmith product rather than just a sequel. Definitely get the new one you won't regret it

Their Version 12 was phenomenal. But from what I understand, the company was sold and is under new ownership, so product isn't quite what it used to be. Good luck!

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.

Yes, it is the most recent for personal use. I was used to the windows version and I was expecting something comparable. I would put the money towards something else.

the newer model has 1080p HD, and looks a lot cheaper. The old one is 720. They updated it 2 weeks after I got mine. still love it 2 years later. even though I have the 720 I don't need an upgrade. hope this helps

I don't know what they mean by "old version"...pictured is the same V2 we purchased about six years ago and also the same unit currently being sold at B&H. Unless there's been some software or firmware update that I'm not aware, I think it's the same beast it's always been.

Use the latest version from their website. The one I bought is very old version, 1.2.

I'm not sure about the differences in older and newer but I'd guess it is not the newer version. We've had our old one for 6 or 7 years and I think and wouldn't trade it for anything. It does a great job toasting, baking, warming. I remember some people commenting on the light that comes from the unit while cooking. It's just the way it works, and it works very well. If you can get it at an affordable price you won't be disappointed.

Yes, they are the same thing. If not it would update for free to be the same, but if I remember right, when I bought it it was all up to date. It's totally worth the buy imo

I did not have the older version, but my friend who is also a professional photographer says there is a world of difference between the sharpness in the newer version and the older one. I actually purchased the new based on his recommendation.

There's a lot of discussion about the advantages of the old version in the Amazon user reviews of both versions. I bought the (more expensive) old version and am happy with it, but never tried the newer one for comparison.

I recommend purchasing the newer version. I own and love the old version and the new version has the option of adding a twist but you can just chose to play it the traditional way. The biggest reason I would recommend purchasing the new one if the words and people are more current and relevant to today.

wait until back in stock owned both think the new version is worth the wait
