There are obvious advantages to each technology(thermal / night vision) over the other but a COTI type system is meant to augment and compliment your night vision. It's not meant to replace the other technology. The only real draw back to these units are their adding of weight to your set up, that it is yet another thing constantly eating up your batteries, and their fairly high cost.
Agreed. It definitely has it's place. Is it COST EFFECTIVE for airsoft? Hell no. But for LEO and MIL absolutely. Any advantage you have is one more stacked in your favor, a fair fight is a dumb fight... etc.
