I think depend on how you going to use it. I did a lot a night hunting in California desert (where it is legal). I tried a Russian made night-vision spotting scope (10x), and I tried moonlight + Leica combo. I would say moonlight + Leica combo is better. I used Zeiss or Kahles depend on the caliber I was using, none of them have any trouble picking up the target around 100 yards.
