What's the difference between this and the "II" for $299 (also on Amazon? Older model?

I could not find a difference so I went with the cheaper lens and it has been very good. Since I don't have the II to compare I can't say for sure.. My only complaint on this lens is that the focus motor is noisy when shooting video On the canon 5i.. that could be a problem with all the lens.

Basically it's the same lens, the difference is that the cheapest deal is from a camera and lens set, comes in a box that is not the original but the lens is new, they are identical!

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

not sure i understand why the 920 blows away the 370. Why are they about the same price on amazon? besides the maps each supports are there any other key differences? I want to know which is more user friendly and which maps are more accurate. I'm moving to Europe (Switzerland) and want to know which would be best for what I'm buying it for (getting from point A to B with as little stress as possible.)

I don't know the difference. I have the 8893 and it performs very well. I cannot imagine what more "bells and whistles" one would need.

Hey there! I'm in the same predicament also? I just purchased the 32m3000 series for the "cheap" price of $649 when it was available at other non competitor retailers for $550-575. (I wanted the 4 year protection plan the cheaper guys didn't offer). It's a gift for father so it's not opened yet. The only thing the store assistant said was that one model's from 2007 and the other is 2008. He didn't want to lie to me about tech knowledge he didn't know about.

By your question I can't tell what the 'cheaper one listed by you at this link' actually is...there is no link to it...just a link to Amazon. If you could let me know what that other one was I might be able to explain what differences there are. With that in mind...I bought this one because of the durability of this particular unit. I did some research and this one had a much lower failure rate and is supposed to last much longer than most of the others.

David, I have no idea what the difference is, I never heard of the model 900. After reading the specifications on both and reading the reviews from customers it appears as though the model 900 is a newer version but has exactly the same features. I suppose, based on my research that purchasing the model 900 is probably the better choice.

Yes, I noticed that as well. There are a few other differences that I personally noticed- cord length- hose length- floor surface settings- one looks better than the otherI ended up going with the 3920 just because it was what was available, plus because of what the cust serv rep told me. But I'm not sure it was worth the extra $20-$30 that I paid.I ended up going with the 3920

I found nothing helpful on the Amazon or Leatherman websites, that would explain the difference between model I & II. Leatherman shows that one is designed for the Charge series, and the other for the Surge. They do not call it I or II, only Amazon does. Product numbers do not match between Amazon and Leatherman. And on both sites they use the exact same picture. These could all be the same sheath. The one I ordered (model II) fits the Super Tool 300 (their largest multi tool) plus the 40 piece bit set. I soaked it in warm water first, to help it stretch around the contents. I keep the bit adapter and a small flashlight in the elastic bands on either side. I'm pretty much invincible.

You may also want to check on www.Berger-bros.com. I spoke to their Rep. and 880IS is expected to be available by end of this week. They are quoting 880IS for $299.

I think this is the newer model. My sister in law recommended it and this is the one she had shown me to purchase.

I also would like to know if imitations of this model are being sold by merchants through Amazon, as i have bought this in June 2007 for $49 plus from here at Amazon!!

Yes, this the same one. My wife is the one who did the research and found this model listed here on Amazon for a better price than other retailers. I'm very happy with it so far.

note: this is not an answer, but a elaboration of the original query... ---- having arrive at this product's link the same way, i have exactly the same question :) both are sold by baiklov, but the predecessor(?) sells for $23.90 where this model for $38.50. both claim 720p capability with otherwise very similar features & accessories. based on what little product detail (not even a user manual for prepurchase perusal??) available on

The newest model (type II) is 2 AAA, an older version used only 1. I highly recommend the newest model.

The MSRP for this item is $299. The $199 price is an accurate price. It is $100 less than MSRP.
