Typical performance are FOM=1340, S/N=21, Sensitivity at 2850K=650 and 64lp/mm

My concern is about very low light conditions, where Gen3 seems to be much more sensitive to light.
On the other hand, Gen2 is more rugged ... |
If you find yourself in the sort of condition where your NVG isn't effective even with a S/N 21 tube, most likely those guys without NODS can't see crap either.
Ultimately though, it is a cost-vs-function thing. Obviously the higher the s/N and sensitivity, the better. IF you can find a second-hand NODS originating from the other side of Lake Ontario with L3/Litton tubes in it, even better.
