I'd also look into getting a plastic protector for your new optic. Don't want it getting smashed on your first game by a lucky shot. I use a knock-off 552, it's great. Great battery life, and the brightness is fine for me. I have some difficulty on the brightest days seeing the reticle, but not to the point where I can't see it at all. I've compared the difference of mine to a RS 553, and honestly, unless you have a ton of money to throw at your optics, a knock-off is just fine for 1/10th the price of the real thing.
