I like the smaller profile of the 32's over the 40's. & while I'd like to have the side focus of the 40, I prefer the illumination format of the 32.

My 1st couple had the NP-R2 reticle, which I thought was a tad fine for coyote, but the illumination negated that in low light.

Then I bought a 32 w/ the MOAR reticle. I liked it, but really didn't need/want the whole reticle to light up, but just the center section like the SHV's do. Never felt I would use the hash marks for hold when it was so dark you needed the reticle lit. You did need to be careful not to over power your view w/ too much intesity in low light

So next I bought an IHR for the 6.5x47, & liked it from the get go. No clutter, the thicker portions lead your eye to the center like a duplex, but you still can use the X for 3 MOA down & dirty quick holds, and only the center lights up. The center X is relatively thin, which makes it great for shooting longer distances w/o covering up your target. It does disappear way before a regular duplex, but again, with illumination it make it a moot point.

I don't have any experience with a SHV......yet.
