If you need Gucci level validation, you can get a like new full kit set of 2376 MIN FOM PVS-31A’s for just under $12K.
If you want something with diopters and RPO glass, I’d recommend a high-FOM set of RPO DTNVS from someone like Jay at SureShot or SOK (both SH vendors). Both will come in at or under budget.
Fly first class and stick with L3 WP tubes, unless you are urban and are almost always in or around lots of artificial light. Then Photonis starts to make sense.
