I’m ready to drop some scratch. Months of research, reading, videos, agonizing over internet photo comparisons, etc. We’ve all been there, right?
Here’s my intended purposes:
1.) I’m not planning on doing any CQB or door kicking.
2.) I am planning on doing some non-tacticool rural patrols and in-place recon once land navigation is complete (maintaining white light discipline would be key here)
3.) I do plan on using in conjunction with a FLIR Breach for clandestine nocturnal rural/suburban pest neutralization sorties.
4.) I’d like to try driving dark in a controlled area.
5.) Not urban, no plans on using in urban environments. Mostly thick timber and and edges.
6.) If I love it, I am open to getting a second PVS-14 with parallel specs to bridge together. I currently use a Crye Nightcap with the Breach.
7.) I prefer to buy once/cry once, but That doesn’t mean I don’t have a budget. Value trumps price, whatever that ends up being.
8.) Epstein didn’t kill himself.
With those facts laid out, here is where I have come to a block. I’m pretty sure I want a L-3 Flimless WP IIT for it’s supreme low light performance (unaided). But...............those Photonis Echo WP tubes appear to be alllllllmost there for nearly $2K less. Is the Filmless $2K better?
Also, really don’t care about generations as long as the specs are high, meaning a gen 2 with better specs should be better than a gen 3 with lower specs, right?
