I love mine too. I think the 2.45x native magnification is about perfect and like Blakestermsaid, the menu is simple to master and easy to use. I use the UNV remote rechargeable battery pack and highly recommend that accessory. No more 123As and all night plus performance. I turn it on when I get out of the truck and leave it on all night. Charge it in the truck or back home too.
A tip: All thermals need their NUCing, especially when first powered up, but the IR Defense thermals really, really like frequent NUCing when turned on. Being able to leave it on all night with the battery pack is a huge plus, but I think even with two batteries or with the extender, three batteries, it is better to leave it powered on through a hunt. If using 123As, just bring spares.
