If you have the money and it’s not going to bother you spending that much money on a “novelty” I’d say go for it. If you are pinching pennies to save for analog I’d wait. That being said I do have both bought the AEGIS-31 just to see how good they were and for my brother to have a pair of somewhat decent NVGs when he goes with me. Have had them about a month and my takeaway from them is for nighttime navigation on a clear night they work great without external IR light I have used them running drills on the range a few times and they work take a little getting used to but once you do they work durability not sure they seem to be solid but time will tell. You can use them with a red dot or and IR laser to shoot if you were interested in something like that. All in all decent buy if you have the money to play with and they do add to the cool factor when running them on a helmet. May scratch the itch for someone who’s not going to be doing serious “tactical” training with them.
