I've used them both quite a bit. Wouldn't ever get rid of mine. The HD is nicer, but unless digiscoping, I personally wouldn't upgrade from the older style. However, if I didn't own one and wanted to buy one, I'd spend the little extra and go with the HD. I'd be more than happy to let you compare them without going to Cabelas, just shoot me a PM.:yeah:

Digiscoping is a neologism for the activity of using a digital camera to record distant images by coupling it with an optical telescope. The term usually refers to using either a digital single-lens reflex camera with lens attached or, more often, a fixed lens point and shoot digital camera to obtain photos through the eyepiece of a birdwatcher's spotting scope[1] using a technique called afocal photography. It has also been associated with using a digital camera and spotting scope equipped for prime focus photography[2]. The word "digiscoping" was coined in 1999 by French birdwatcher Alain Fossé. Less notable neologisms for this activity are digiscope birding, digiscopy birding, digi-birding, digibinning (using digital camera with binoculars), and phonescoping[3] (using a digital camera phone with a spotting scope or binoculars).

This spring I happened to catch the non-HD on Amazon.com for $799 with free shipping - good enough for me.
Except that the non HD's are selling at Cabela's and E-bay for $699 right now. Cabela's even had a promotional deal to clear out all of the non HD models that they (or leupold) were offering a $100 rebate on the gold ring bino's. That would have been a good deal to jump on.
