Reasons to upgrade NVGs? (binos, WP, etc)

[WS6]

What is it that the "binos owners" rave about? Just feel like I'm getting two different lines, and both are the truth

It's worth noting that the majority of people who buy their NODs treat them like a status symbol.

I understand, but even the military is replacing the PVS14 with binos, and that gives me a big pause.

I understand wanting to be informed before a big purchase like this. I am/was too, like I mentioned. But I think you’re agonizing over the decision a little too much.

A lot of good work was put in by sneaky dudes under a single tube for a LONG time. Neither of us are professional users, so for us, it’s more of a want/need balance we have to strike. For me, the minimum viable product to get me in the game and answer all these questions is the PVS14. How much I actually train with them, how my brain performs with just one tube, funds availability, etc will dictate if I feel the need to advance up to duals.

Also, With current events, I’m sure I’m not the only one feeling the need to have this “prep” checked off the box...hence the huge rush right now for everyone and their brother to buy nods. Delivery timelines and “hand select” spec picking played a major role in the vendor I chose...which is not TNVC.

Not entirely true.

Not entirely true.

Can you expound? It just seems like lots of people would rather run an omni V tube bino than super tube pvs14 based on every thread but this one that I've ever read, and those threads had solid posters of known background as well. Just trying to better understand.

Just buy binos.
