I have heard from a reliable optics dealer in London who has the 'ear' of Swarovski, that the current batch of EL 8x32 WB bins are in fact the unannounced and unheralded new SV version.
The evidence for this is the new design carrying case, the lack of Swaroclean information on the box, and most importantly the 'whisper' direct from Swarovski that this is what they are doing currently.
Has anyone heard any thing to corroborate this information.
why would they sell the new binoculars at old binocular prices?

Seems normal to me - alot of manufactured items are "pulled ahead" as a way to exhaust inventories of prior level stock items,lots, etc.
