That's BAD info.
Looks like there is a difference of opinion and fact. As Dave in WV pointed out the Bushnell Discoverer was the model up from the Legend in their line and typically cost around $100-150 more than the Legend. The Bushnell Legend never was offered in a 7x42mm. The Discoverer is the only binoculars in the last fifteen years from Bausch and Lomb or Bushnell to be offered in a 7x42mm. I've seen both and know the Discoverer is better and am not always trying to justify my purchase of a bottom end binoculars by saying they are better than those costing $1000 more. Let's be reasonable here, which is what I was doing.
If one is to be technical the Bushnell ROOF prism binoculars product line goes like this in order of price, performance, highest first:
1. Elite
2. Elite E2
3. Infinity
4. Discoverer
5. Legend
6. Excursion
The rest below this not even worth consideration, including the Trophy.
From what I understand the Discoverer line is not being discontinued, only the 7x42mm model. There remains 8x42mm and 10x42mm models.
An example of the price difference: The Bushnell Legend 10x42mm retails for $439.99 while the Bushnell Discoverer 10x42mm retails for $599.99. Those are MSRP set by Bushnell on those models.
In any event, the Bushnell Discoverer 7x42mm for $220 is a great deal and would be a far better value than buying the Bushnell Legend 8x42mm for $240.
