First off, there is a typo in my post on the mil to moa, it should have read 3.437 not 3.427. Sorry about my lousy typing and it slipped past my lousy editing. could be a reason I don't write a book.

On the exit pupil. watch how big you get the exit pupil as the bigger it is the less light falls on the retina. It is like the adjustable beam flashlights, the wider the beam the less light there is on the subject. Conversly the narrower the beam, the more difficult it is to find the exit pupil at night and the easier it is to shadow the scope. As the beam becomes tighter, and brighter, the more the pupil constricts, BUT that only works to a certain degree and that is dependant upon that particular shooter's physiology. With this comes more rapid eye fatigue. Another words, experiment. Each person will find that they have better operating condtions with a certain power setting on their scope that may not work worth a dam for me or someone else.

However a good quality scope with the correct power setting will allow you to shoot well after sunset and even later on a bright moon lit night. It is possible to better engage a target with the day scope under certain circumstances then with the NVD.

BMT - In many instances I have to agree on the bigger is better, even 155 seems very handy at times!
