Advantages of Aimpoints ML2 v/s ML3

[Windjammer]

Can someone give the advantages of buying the ML3 rather than the ML2? Is it really worth the extra $$$?

Thanks

The main difference between the two is battery life - 10,000 hours on the ML2 vs 50,000 hours on the ML3. The ML3's also come with the outer rubber protective cover ($30) which the ML2's do not have.

Also if I'm not mistaken you can get the ML3 in either a 2MOA Dot or 4MOA Dot

[Texas Tactical]

That is correct also. The ML2's are 4moa dots only, the ML3's come in either 2moa or 4moa dot sizes.

[W.E.G.]

Are both models compatible with night-vision devices?

The ML versions are not NV compatable; the M2 & M3 models are.

I have decided to go with the Aimpoint M2. Maybe sometime down the road I will equip myself with a PVS-14. That way I can run my tractor at night in blackout drive.
