Get the 553. It was designed with military input and has features the previous versions lack. The best part is it uses the same 123 batteries as the SureFire weapons lights. The major advantages are shorter OAL and 1000 hrs run time (almost twice what the AAs will give). It's a bit more expensive (o/a $500) but well worth it IMHO. I've been using a 552 for several years and prefer the EOTechs over the Aimpoints. The bad news - as has been pointed out elsewhere on this board it does not have magnification, a distinct disadvantage for EOTechs/Aimpoints when it comes to longer range target ID/engagement. (Part of the reason my Christmas included a Trijicon TA31F.) FWIW - Peregrino
