On the low-cost spectrum: while there is basis for ATN's poor reputation; my experience with Sightmark (other products) has traditionally been pretty good. I'd be willing to suggest giving it a second look - personally. But have no experience with their Thermal systems myself, and look forward to what others have to say.
I personally consider the Bering optics line of thermals quite a good bang for your buck, and am happy to have gone that route - but my data is also a few years old, so no doubt others have improved too.
To my eye, the price is comparable to a Hogster. The 1028 resolution is a little basic. Note the base magnification is the only number that matters, with numbers above that simply being digital zoom, and pixilation - not native actual zoom ability. The weight looks pretty good. Let us know how it goes!
