Trits will draw your eye slightly better in the day than normal sights, and at dusk they are worth every penny.
I'm looking at trits for my USP too. I like Ashley Express sights (sooooo fast), but they don't make them for USP. Ghost Ring works just about as well, so I'm wavering, wait or buy?. (the USP, and the group buy AR made me broke, why I'm worrying about this now, I don't know. Could it be...fun? [:D])
Anyhoo, I think Trijicons do seem to be brighter than Meprolights, but the Mepro's are a bit cheaper. Entreprise Arms has the ghost ring Trit set (front and rear lamps) for USP at $139.85 I like Novak, too, but they don't make a USP set. Trijican fixed sight set is 115.00, Meprolights at $100 bucks, Mepro's seem to stick out a bit far. MMC has 'em, but I don't know their product, so I can't comment.
I'll go with Trijicon.
"Where," you ask, "is he getting these prices?"
