Hi all,
Its been a dream of mine for 5+ years since i discovered greenies that I have wanted a handheld. Now that I finally have the means to get one, Id like to make sure Im making the right investment.
Im leaning towards optotronics, but after CNI replied to my price inquiry Im not really sure. For $1235, I could get a >750mW PGL-III-C, compared to $1500 for a >450mW unit from optotronics. I know from first hand experience that Jack is great to work with, and will back his products. At the same time though, CNI has been around for quite a while now, and continues to expand their product line... doesnt that mean that they are doing well?
Comparing the units themselves, the RPL seems to be a bit smaller, and not quite as ugly ha. Ive heard that the divergence on the RPL is a bit lower, offering a much tighter beam. Is it a significant difference?
Has anyone owned one of these super-powered PGL-III-C's for an extended period of time? Has anyone had issues with this unit or one like it, and had to deal with warranty issues with CNI?
Please let me know what you think. Pics would be helpful if you have em
