My #1 issue here is durability. The MK6 is durable as hell, and PROVEN TO BE. The VCOG is proven to not be so durable, and when I called Trijicon, they told me stuff:
-We have fired 1000 rounds on a SCAR17H
-We have tested it to 10ft for 24 hours under water
-The lens attachment system is different from the VCOG, there is no lens/tube contact, they are double O-ringed and "castle nutted" (best way I can describe it), but the VCOG uses a different "and in my opinion---tech" more robust system (not confidence inspiring to me, considering VCOG lens shift issues).
-It is tested to 500g's on a machine, but did not break/could do more, that was just minimum spec, so that was what it was tested to. It passed.
Another thing that bothered me---not impeded---but bothered the hell out of me, the CA with the Trijicon 1-8 is off the chart stoopid.
