Has anyone bought Zeiss binoculars from Camera Land NY? For "8x42 FL T" they have advertised price of $1250.

Interestingly both new and demo model link goes to same page. What does demo model mean here ? Has Zeiss found some optical quality issue in them and does not sell them as new model ? Obviously one shop can't have so many display models and they have got it in bulk from somewhere and these binoculars are not just the piece they used for display in their shop. Question here is about the quality of those Zeiss binoculars. People in this forum has only great things to say about the Cameraland owner Dough.
How is the Zeiss quality control and repair service for binoculars in US. Every review available on the web seems to be gaga over optical quality of these binoculars and every one has declared them as almost perfect binoculars. But how about their quality control? I did not have very nice experience with their scope quality control and repair service.
How useful is LotuTec coating on these binoculars? Does it affect optical quality in anyway.
