I have a terrible habit of switching to a new thermal every year. I like trying new things. This year I’m using an XRF and to be honest, there hasn’t been anything released that really makes me want to switch to something new. The Pulsar XL image doesn’t look THAT much better and it’s too low of base mag for my needs. The Iray 1280 is too low of base mag as well. The new Iray Hybrid 75 with a 4x base mag is very slightly intriguing, but I have more confidence in the XRF’s LRF than any of Iray’s offerings. I can see it in the future, Iray will combine features and create a Hybrid 75 1280. So maybe when someone offers a 3x or 4x 1280 I’ll give it a try. I haven’t been that impressed with my Pulsar in high humidity compared to my XRF.
