Hmac, I can see you might have reasons to not be a huge fan of the T1. That being said, compairing the T1 and H1 to the P.R.0, IMO, is comparing apples and oranges. Therefore a price/performance analogy just doesn't make sense. I have P.R.O.'s and an ML3, and there are major differences in folks intended use for them vs. the T1/H1.

I don't care for the $700 price point of the T1 either, but will be buying one for a newly completed lightweight rifle. The PRO offers a much wider range of vision with it's larger lenses, and is battle tank tough. Placing a T1 about 1/3 or more down the length of your rifle offers a narrower "view" with it's smaller lens. Like looking at a nickel vs. looking at a silver dollar.

It's like saying I prefer a truck to a Prius, because of the price point. They both get you down the road, but in much different ways.

Just sayin
