Is night vision really a good buy?

I was thinking on buying a night vision scope but don't know if it is worth the price.

Also stay away from that cheap gen1 crap. Every gen1 scope I ever had was a waste of money. And if you ever wanna resale it, don't expect to get your money back. The gen 1 stuff depreciates in value like a car. The higher end nv gear is holding it value a little better but slower becoming cheaper. But its hard to get rid of. I ended up parting with a $600 Gen 1 rifle scope for $250. Because after two years of ownership, the same scope can now be purchased for $399 new and improved.
If you do purchase a Gen 1 tube, then you should also invest in a high power flashlight with an infrared filter that can also be mounted on the weapon, because you will need the light source.
Also I'd advise not buying a scope that has a focus that you have to adjust manually. Its a real pain, especiall when trying to handle a rifle.
