[QUOTE="RJM, post: 1739909, member: 66340"] I believe ProOptic is a house brand for Adorama. Bushnell is GLOBAL sports optics brand with R&D, manufacturing, service center and a 50yr history. There really are only a handful of sports optics brands that are comparable. Why do you think having a center diopter is important feature? The only thing a diopter needs to do is provide sufficient adjustment range for your vision and then most importantly stay LOCKED in place once adjusted. Please download the Bushnell 2009 catalog PDF from their website and check page5 for the Legend Ultra HD spec table if you demand written proof of phase coatings. Seems Amazon shows the 8x42 Legend Ultra HD for $207 shipped. Again, you will hard pressed to find an ultrawide FoV roof with ED glass and Rainguard water-repellent lens coating, a fast focuser, the excellent case, strap and harness AND Lifetime Warranty for this price. Plus I see Bushnell has renewed the offer of the almost free [URL="http://www.bushnell.com/global/promotions/"]fleece pullover camo jacket[/URL] thru 2010. Rick [/QUOTE]
