Okay folks, I was real close to pulling the trigger on an Aurora but I watched a real comparison on YT and I decided NV was my best bet. I’m stuck on Gen 2 because it’s usable and it’s what my budget ($2,200 max)allows. Plus I have a Gen 2 + clip on and I know what to expect. Where is a good place to buy one of these? Any feedback on the AMG wolf14?  I know it’s not a pvs14 housing but that doesn’t matter to me. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

if you could manage a little more and get a pvs14 , if you ever wanted to upgrade or sell it then it would sell quicker and better than most other things , if you want gen2 the echo tues are really quite good

I see many places where I can get a Gen 2 pvs 14 for around 2k but I don’t know anything about the tubes, I imagine they’re Russian with blemishes. I’m spoiled by my photo is Gen 2+ clip on, I kinda want that performance.

If you can find another 400 you can get a good Gen 3.

Yeah, I know but my budget is 2,200 and Gen 2+ works for me.

Unless you get a Photonis gen2+ your low light capability is going to really suffer when there is very little star/moon/city light pollution. In extreme low ambient light most TF or Filmless modern Gen3 high spec tubes perform better than the Photonis Gen 2+ tubes. Although @Lowdown3 has some great pics comparisons  of the Photonis Gen 2+ tubes he sells vs TF or Filmless tube.

Used Gen 3+ autogated PVS-7 off EE.

That what I did and you get full Gen 3+ capabilities.

Not as sexy as a PVS 14, but will do the job.

Wouldn't go near AGM if at all possible.  Also some very good deals out there on autogated Echo plus tubes in WP - checkout what JRH has to offer.
