Weaker body, less resolution, no PiP, and no LRF. I don't see a reason to upgrade, even with the increased refresh rate and larger screen. Guess I'll be waiting another couple years for the V3 or the PFN640+v2.
Stronger body (magnesium), same resolution with better mk rating from 50 to 15-18 Who cares about pip on a 1x and lrf 😂 this unit is primarily used as a helmet rig and clip on. I guess you will be waiting 2-3 years 😂😂😂. Iray made some major upgrades to this unit for sure.
@@ngaoutdoors4157 magnesium is weaker than aluminum. Well documented. Less resolution read the spec sheets. you'd never used pip or lrf if you don't find it useful. It was designed as a clip on first. Thanks for being wrong on all counts.
@GldenRetriever magnesium is lighter. The v1 was heavy. 640x480 is going to give you the same exact detail as a 640x512. The only difference is the v2 will be 5:4 instead of 4:3. This is an advantage when paired with a larger eyebox because we do not need vertical pixels in a 1x device. Sure there's 10hz more refresh, but the real win for this refresh is the
@@billyyoung1630 It's ~1.5oz heavier. That's basically nothing. I'd take that increased weight for the vast improvement in durability. More pixels in the core, the better. vertical or horizontal. Larger ocular lens (paired with larger screen) is better, but can go unnoticed when used in a clip on role with an LPVO/MPVO. If I wasn't going to be running a clip on, I wouldn't get this optic. Yes, the temp sensitivity is really the biggest upgrade for this unit. Everything else (USBC, larger eyepiece, more colors, throw lever, etc) really aren't worth the 1k (msrp to 2k used) difference for me. PiP is a benefit regardless of it being a 1x or not and regardless of if it is being used in a clip on or dedicated. having 2 magnifications on screen at the same time is a huge bonus. It's for when you want a wide fov while also having an enlarged image of the target (be it for observation or for precise aiming).
