Primary Arms Classic vs. Silver Red Dots / Aimpoint Clones

[Aero Denezol]

Other than having a 50k hour battery life, what is so much better about the PA Silver for $129 vs. the Classic for $89? Better ergos? Both are 2 MOA dots, and the Classic actually has finer (1/2 MOA) adjustments.

Many thanks in advance. Any input is appreciated.

Not really sure of differences but you can get a holosun or a sig romeo that turns on with movement for around $100 when they go on sale. I am slowly switching over to these on everything except range toys. Nice to have it automatically light up when you pick up weapon.

Thanks @osprey. I have a Holosun ACSS and I love it, but they are spendy.

PA just had the sig romeo 5's on sale for $99 but it is over now. Amazon still has them for $113 with free shipping.

I do like the auto on/off feature of the Romeo and the Holosun, not sure why PA hasn't incorporated that feature.
