Looking to purchase dual tubed, generation 1, night vision goggles with headset and am wondering if anyone has any experience with these two specific brandsmodels.

The first is the ATN Night Cougar Night Vision Binoculars. Link here. This setup can be had for $529 with free shipping.

Specs

Total darkness technology Standard Magnification 1X Intensifier tube high res. 1st gen+ Detection Range 150m/y Recognition range 100m/y Lens system F1:1.4, F35mm FOV 30 deg. Diopter adjustment +/- 5 Resolution 40 lp/mm Power supply one 3 volt lithium Range of focus 1m to infinity Controls digital Battery life 10-20 hours Operating Temperature -40C to +40C Dimensions 137mmX125mmX50mm 5.5'' X 5'' X 2'' Weight 0.8kg / 1.75 lbs

The other system I'm considering is the Bushnell 1X20 Night Vision Gen 1 Goggle with Headgear. Link here. These can be had for $599 with free shipping.

Specs
MAGNIFICATION X OBJECTIVE LENS: 1x20 VIEWING RANGE ft/m: .5-100/.15-30 FIELD OF VIEW ft/m: 210/70 INFRARED ILLUMINATOR: Built-In BATTERY TYPE: N (2) SIZE (in/mm): 5.25x2.25x4.25/133x57x108 WEIGHT (oz/g): 18/510 TRIPOD MOUNT: No
Water Resistant
Includes bright light protection circuit.

So do any of you guys (or gals?) have any experience with either of these brands or models? The Bushnell model looks to be more compact and has the auto bright light protection circuit. It's also about $75 more than the ATN.

Going to purchase one or the other. Comments and suggestions appreciated if they are relevant to my inquiry. Please spare me any ignorant or senseless posts. Thanks in advance.
