i have a Gen I, 1-4 on a DD AR now and like it. I'm planning to build a 16 inch Grendel AR for hunting and range work. Thought of swapping the optic over, but if the second gen is that much better should I just go for it. I understand the FOV is about 20 feet greater on the new one plus more magnification. Any input is appreciated, or other options about that price.
