....I moved to thermals some years go but sometimes wonder if I wasn't better off with my old PVS units. They were very sharp and crisp. Thermals have improved, and come down in price a whole lot, but the images are nowhere near as crisp as the old "starlight scopes".
I think different eyes see things differently, but while pricey, upper end thermal sights are stunning. I can see foraging field mice at a hundred yards, easily making out their form and movements. Count points on bucks, see quills on procupines, way more detail than full sun daylight. You probably have far more experience with the different types than I do, but it's a crazy look at details that are hard to image, wildgrass seed heads swaying in the breeze. Neat stuff.
