Hello everyone,

I plan on buying a Leupold VX-6 1-6x24 30mm illuminated scope for my AR15 (its a 16" carbine). The only thing I can't decide on is the reticle. It comes in either the illuminated duplex or illuminated german #4 dot. This is for all around general use, from close to long range, daytime, low light, brush, etc. I understand the german #4 is better in brush and low light, but the duplex has a larger illuminated reticle. Which one would you get?

Here's a picture of the reticles (ignore the boone & crocket)

Thanks!

P.S. I know Leupold is coming out with the Mark6 scope, but since the VX-6 is half the cost, I'll stick with it.
