I just got a pair of fusions for a good price, and have since stumbled into the opportunity to get the one miles for not a whole lot more money. I was looking for input to see if it's worth it. I can return the fusions (or possibly sell em as I paid new less than the best refurbished price I could find online). Thanks in advance for the input...
Bushnell fusion 1600 bino or the new one miles

Thought I'd add the farthest I've repeatedly ranged a tree line is 1720,1723,& 1724 yards offhand from out the car window. And different turkeys in a recently cut hay field between 994-1006 yards.
The biggest complaint seems to be the dim readout on the old model. Have you tried them in high sun situations? I love the one miles. They have incredible glass for the price. If you want to use them for the bino feature it maybe worth the upgrade. For strictly a rangefinder it sounds like yours are gtg.
It does get dim in the super bright light, but manageable for sure. some reviews you read lead you to believe it's better as a boat anchor if the sun is out, but its serviceable. I don't have good bino's so I think they're going down the road or being returned.
Just bought a pair of Swarovski 10 x 42 EL Range bino's last night. These are high $ (I was able to save enough Cabelas Bucks to pay for them) but worth the price. Haven't gotten to try them in full daylight, but have consistently ranged over 2K yards with them this morning. I'm expecting to loose a little in full daylight, but shouldn't be much.
I didn't like the blue tint to the glass in the originals
The 1 mile version reportedly gets rid of that. That alone would be worth it to me. Add in the brighter display and it would be a no brainer.
I got an ARC 1300 in yesterday and the glass is nice..

I love my 1600s.. and I consistently range to 1800+ yards with them. Yeah the blue tint sucks a bit and the dim LED readout disappears in bright light, but it ALWAYS works. I am so impressed with these, for the $800 they can't be beat.
I bought a set of Bushnell 1 MILE's from Euro Optic last week. I just went to the gap grind where I got to play with them a lot.
I noticed this,
The readout is nice and bright.
It absolutely poured on day one. Which was good because I tested these in the rain. And I was happily surprised I ranged anything I wanted to on their entire range. Which only goes out to about 1200. BUT, in the rain that is darn good.
I also liked the super quick readout time. After clicking the ranging button, it was fast to get me readout.
And I also liked the glass in the binos. It makes it nice to be able to see your target to start off with.
Give Euro Optic a call and get a set, I am pretty sure that they have them in stock right now.
