I looked extensively into these as well. I actually contacted trijicon to get their statement on the difference of the 2. Only difference was the illumination. Glass, tube and everything was exactly the same, according the them. I was looking at the 2.5-10x56 for low light situations, but ended up buying a S&B Klassik 2.5-10x56. They are cheaper than the accupoint and I have seen them brand new on ebay for cheaper than any online store. Just have to be patient and when it shows up, pull the trigger.
