This is the oldest model of Vortex Diamondback.
MPN: D241 is the oldest model of Vortex Diamondback binocular
MPN: DB-205 is the second generation of Vortex Diamondback binocular
MPN: DB-215 is the HD version and the newest generation of Vortex Diamondback binocular
Sportsman's Warehouse has the D241 (it's listed under MPN in the top right)

Scheel's has the DB-205 (listed at the end of some numbers in product description)

Unfortunately when you go to the manufacturer website and look through their listed models, or you even use the search on their website, it won't pull up those model pages. That's because one is discontinued and the other is limied distribution (meaning it was a model limited to one or more stores). So you have to plug the model numbers into google to find the manufacturer product pages.
All of it has that impeccable vortex lifetime warranty though so as long as the specs meet your needs, if it breaks, vortex will replace it with the closest available model, usually in your favor. I haven't had to use my vortex warranty yet but my friends have used it and had great experiences.

The picture seems different to me. The hinge area seems like a different design.
I don't see any obvious model number to compare

Okay, so I found the binoculars at Vortex [vortexoptics.com], and it seems Vortex currently sells the one featured at Scheels, but I didn't find the one featured at Sportsman's Warehouse. Maybe it's been discontinued; I really don't know.

The issue with OpticsPlanet though is you never really know if the whatever they're selliing will actually ship, or at least ship in a timely manner. I've had stuff that they swear will ship in a week and it won't ship for 3 months, if that. And they often aren't very candid about that. Complain enough times and you'll get them to shave off a discount here or there but there's limits.

This is why I think Vortex is shady with their marketing. This and the fact that their "HD" binoculars don't necessarily have high density (aka ED/extra-low dispersion) glass. With most other brands, if you see the HD label it denotes ED glass.
