I know the 15 runs around 10k. Anyone have any idea on price for the 21? How do these two units compare in actual use?

I would say they hardly compare...or at least compare in what respect?
15s have become more or less the standard and the only folks I've seen running around with 21s is CAG.

Re: PVS-15 and PVS-21 info
I guess just in overall performance. I'm looking to purchase 15's and while looking around I started researching the 21's. I'm sure they are way off my budget but my curiosity was peaked none the less.

Take a look at ANVIS 9s also...good alternative to 15s and a little bit easier on the wallet, only thing you are sacrificing is the IR illuminator...and some of the ruggedness, but I'm pretty gentle with my personally owned NODs

DK in re: anvis 9's are these the aviator variety?
Is there anything you feel you can't do with 15's?
These will be for work but Ill baby them as much as possible since this is coming out of my pocket.

Yeah, the ANVIS 9s (F4949s) were/are developed for aviation, however they are seeing a lot of ground use now that they are being fielded to certain units. Mounts & battery packs have become ruggedized for them as well. The actual unit itself isn't nearly as hard use as the 15s are, but I suppose it all depends on what you are going to use them for.
The 9s have screws on each side that allow you to move the individual tubes left or right for positioning them over your eyes perfectly while the 15s are more like a binocular...if that makes sense. I like the 9s in this respect over the 15s, but it's also the weak point or where they are most fragile.
I'm happy with mine, I use them hunting, 4 wheeling, etc..
The 9s are cheaper, but if you are doing anything <span style="font-style: italic">serious or something that will bump and knock them around</span>, go with the 15 for the durability.

21's in the 20K range. We have a full blown review to be published shortly.

We do have LOTS of photo's. Once our new web site goes live here next week, you will see some to say the least.
Merry Christmas!
