+1 Off the top of my head . . . the 553 comes in Dark Earth the 553 sits approx 1/4" higher on the flat top the 553 has a teathered battery compartment the 553 is waterproof to 66ft vs 33ft on the 552 (double check that, I am not 100% on the numbers) there might be some others . . . |

Also has the ARMS QD mount. The 553 is also slighty shorter than 552. It all depends on whether or not those feature mean anything to you. |

Yup. If you look at some of the additional features and specifically the mount. A ARMS mount goes for about $60-$80 per throwlever, and the 553 has two of them. At $150 more, that about covers the additional ARMS mount plus the 553 has some additional features. So from a value perspective, it is inline with their other models. Don't get me wrong, it is an expensive optic, but you are getting what you pay for. Most folks probably don't need all extra features, so I am sure the 512 will stay one of the most popular EOTech choices. |
