bit pricy. has anyone have any experience with the acog?

my other choice would be an xsight from atn 5x18. which is an digital scope with night vision features can use both day and night. pair with an eotech holo sight mount at 45 degree angle.

i know they not as tactical as the acog. but the night vision option really attract me. be able to shoot at night. plus half price than acog.
