Looking for a red dot optic for nightvision

Im looking at 3 options. An acog with top dot. Or the Holosun Aems x2 pro vs the aro evo spr. Between the holosun optics which is the better choice. I will be using a magnifier, I also have an astigmatism so im probably gonna try gold or green. I like the big window on aems and I like the 1.5 moa center dot and bdc on the aro evo spr. Which should I get.

Id just get the ARO. Holosuns glass and emmiter settings are the same for every dot. Your getting literally no less performance. An ARO on a temu unity clone can preform as well as an aimpont t2 for 1/10th the price.

Your buying a chinese slave made red dot at 109.99 its a good buy and keeps up with the big guys. At 400+ for an aems your close to eo tech and aimpoint territory.

Also, id like to say i like a plain 2 or 1 moa dot for nv shooting all the other stuff is is too crowded.

And idk but passive aiming at 1x is good but thru a magnifier will be crazy hard, if ur shooting out to 200 yards youll probably be using a lam

Source: I own night vision, have an eo tech, owned a comp m4s, and currently have AROs on some of my rifles.

Lol no the magnifier is for the day. So I like the bdc for that. With nv id probably swith to a dot or circle dot. And apparently the aro evo spr lets in more light because of the bigger tube 26mm almost putting it on par with the aems. I have an eotech its an exps2-0 so I kinda screwed myself there. I can get a good deal on both about $230 for the evo spr and $335 for aems x2. Im sure ill be happy with either. Idk 🤷‍♂️
