About stethoscope Littmann 3000 ?

1.Would you buy a Littman 3000 or a Littmann 4100 (considering design, facilities and money) ?
2.If there is no battery inside the tube, can be sounds still be heared (without amplification or other technological trick)? I mean if the stethoscope is out the battery can be still used?
3.Is there a main difference between the sound that can be heared with a normal stethoscope and the one of an electronical steth.?
I looked on the official site but i'm afraid they just wanna sell the product, and that's why they exagerate the facilities. I don't belive every word there, so I'm curious, has anyone tried it?

Answer:
Are you a medical/nursing student buying equipment for the first time?

Anyway, I'd still recommend NOT going with the amplification. You need to be able to listen to the heart unenhanced to learn what's normal and what isn't.

Getting the amplification would be a waste of money and actually a hinderance on your education.
I have tried the battery powered stethescope, but unless your hearing is defective, every physician I know uses the stethoscope without amplification.
I hate the amplification.it just sounds WRONG to me. I love my Littmann Cardiology II.
