According to a Bushnell Rep that would be correct. The Bushnell web site mentions "new technology" used in the Elite series. It would make sense that the older Elite 6500 coatings shift to lower price scopes as Bushnell improves their higher end optics. IMHO In sports optics marketing the advances in lens coatings that increase light transmission at the wave lengths of light associated with dawn and dusk is one the main selling points. Sales is a leap frog game you always have to make improvements to maintain or increase market share.
