I would save your money and get a thermal. NV shit is cool but unless you have Gen 3 NV you gonna really need a good IR spotlight/illuminator. So by the time you add all the extra shit you need to make the NV suitable for your needs it will be close to a nice entry level thermal. Well that's what I decided after weighing the two (NV/Thermal). The one I am eyeing is about 2900 but shit thermals were 10 grand for entry level a while back. But then again it may work for what you're looking to do with it. Go rent or demo one and try it out for yourself.
