Hi xDom
I may be wading in here a bit late,,, but getting to some of your early ???s in this,, your thread.
FWIW, and from my reasonably limited experience, I would recommend that you do extensive homework, and then buy the absolute best that you can afford.
Like,,,,,,,,,, buy once cry once.
Sh!t NV equipment really is just that, "sh!t"
I saved for ages, and bought one of the most up to date models of top shelf brand, and have found that the performance is simply fantastic.
Since then I also purchased a Monocular (just for scanning) of the very Brand and Model that you were asking about.
Believe me, even though its a "good" brand,,,,, it cannot hold a candle to my main unit.
Its severely limited in range (Max of 100 to 150 meters) as opposed to over a kilometer of the main unit.
Even at 100 meters, it struggles to pick up anything smaller than a fox, and certainly not much help in identifying what animal.
I only use it as a base tool to pick up any "white blob" within 180 meters, then use the good one to identify and shoot with.
Even if you have to wait, and save $$$ till you can afford the best,,,, you'll be a happy camper at the end.
Hope this is of some assistance.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
