Is there any reason why anyone would ever want to trade a AA Eotech for an N cell version ?

If for some reason there is, I'll post it up in the EE.

Just trying to gauge interest.

If the AA version doesn't fit.

About the only reason I can think of is size.
The AA are longer.

the low battery life seems to be the Achilles heal on these models.

i like my AA.

Sell the N version and buy an AA. I would be shocked if someone wanted to trade for it.

AA batteries are cheaper and more abundant. Case closed

I'm very well aware of why the AA is better.  I was simply asking if there was a reason why someone would want an N cell over a AA.

Good thing you showed up and "closed the case"  otherwise this thread might have lasted forever.

I have a pair of ancient 502's running the N cell batteries.  I'll replace them when an AA version is made with the 20 MOA diamond reticle and/or the 6 MOA dot reticle.  Till then I'll "get by" with my Aimpoint ML3's.  But my M4 has the 20 MOA 502 EOTech mounted, as it is faster for me at living room distances.

Not every choice is cut and dry or case closed without considering all factors.

and hell yes the N cells have short lives, that's what spares are for.

My Ns blew up in mine a few years ago.

But it's so small.

Only thing I can think of is AAs don't handle the cold as well. But as long as you use lithium AAs I would think that wouldn't matter as much.
