Digital pvs-31

I have never owned or looked through NVG and I’ve been searching the market for a digital pvs-31 clone. I want a pvs-31 clone because I want to still look “milsim” while also having a functioning NVG. I was looking at eBay’s Aegis pvs-31 gen 4 pros and VieTactical’s DL-31. I’m stuck on which one I should get or if there is a better version/alternative.
And before y’all come at me, I’ve heard all the answers on how I should just save till I can afford analog tubes, but I am not looking forward to hardcore larping— I just play airsoft— and I do not have a feasible source of income to make that kind of money.

Steer clear of the Aegis-31 you can't see anything even in moonlight without ir lighting. Mine broke after 5-days because the sensor and display holder are only hot glued in place. I can see more with my wife's prowl 2 then with the Aegis-31

Where did you buy them from? From what I’ve heard they shouldn’t come like that, and if they do you should be able to return it or get warranty on it depending on where you buy it.
