| Ok, so I have a chance to get a surefire m962 KIT01 (halogen bulb) never used for around 200 bucks. Should I fo? Seems like a deal to me. |

People have been dumping m952v's in EE lately. $130-150 for white/IR. The mount looks like it could hold a fucking truck wheel in place, but I like them.
ETA: Then you can justify spending $2-4k on a PVS-14, because you've already spent the $150 on the light for it. |

That would have been a smoking deal about ten years ago - but technology has passed them by. Sure, you can upgrade, but by the time you spend the coin you're going to be close to $300. Currently the best LED upgrade for that light is the Malkoff MD10 LINK for $89.
For $289, you can buy a smaller, more modern light that is better in every conceivable metric. I'm not knocking the M962 - I own several of them, along with the M500 series forends that use the same bulb and bezel. Ultimately, what would you rather haul around, a 3-cell M962, like this: 
Or a more modern LED Scout at a fraction of the size and weight: 
Good luck either way!
