Illumination where you have single dot or small portion of the center reticle illuminated can be very useful, and if there’s the option snd my budget allows, I’d opt for it.
Illlimination where a monster reticle lights up like a Christmas tree is not great for hunting.
I think there’s also a trade off if budget is limited. Generally, at modest price points, I think getting an IR jeans a tease off somewhere else.
Agreed, I am not interested in a design that lights up the full reticle. If I went illuminated, it would be a small dot or center cross section of a #4 or similar heavy post / fine cross wire design.
