Thanks for the info, the PST II has really caught my eye (sorry for the pun). Is it daylight bright?

Well, I shoot in the deserts of SoCal...and today was the first day out with it -- Understand that when you turn on the power, only the dot at the intersection of the cross hairs illuminates. The rest of the etched reticle remains black. With a brand new battery, I had no trouble seeing the dot against bright tan colored dirt in full sun...in fact if anything it was too bright and had to turn it down to a lower power setting.
At 1x, it's effectively a really really clear RDS for CQB type shooting. I have Aimpoints and Trijicon RDS's too, and I'd rather take the weight of either of the Vortex gen2's because the image is just so much clearer...makes target acquisition ez.
ETA: Electronically, it's supposedly the same internals as the gen2 Razor, which you'd be hard pressed to find anyone complaining about on the webz.
ETA2: List price is $699, but OpticPlanet will usually give you 10% off just for asking
