I have had two of them. They upgraded them in the middle of the time that they have been available. I had one with the older coatings, one with the newer coatings (Multicoat 4).
There was a very noticeable difference between them when comparing side-by-side. The newer coatings were clearly brighter and lasted longer at lowlight.
I sold both. If you want a brighter scope, save another $75 and get up to the new VX2 with even better coatings.
