I haven't kept up with what changed when, but any LX90 that's been well cared for should be just fine. I have one of the earlier LX90's and it's been trouble free from day one. There have only been minor changes over the years, changing the scope from one that's very easy to set up and use to one that's close to idiot proof. The most significant change was the introduction of improved coatings (UHTC) that gave a very slightly brighter image. As long as the scope is in good condition and the price is right, go for it, regardless of its particular features.

If you buy the LX90, make sure you read the manual carefully regarding set-up and use to avoid any silly mistakes. Lots of info is available on the Yahoo LX90 user group too.
