I find as my eyes age resolution becomes more important and the step up form the older pulsar to the fh25 was a welcome one.

The resolution is better with the infiray, not a huge deal better though. In my mind the huge price difference doesn't justify the small increase in clarity of the image. That is comparing the 35mm models, and also the infiray resolution is 640x512 vs the sytong model which is 384×288. Sytong also have a model with similar resolution to the infiray but I have not looked through it.

I would be very surprised if you spotted any more animals with the infiray which costs $2300 more and spare batteries on top which cost an additional $180.

Not only that, if you use it a lot there is a chance it will have issues, the repair wait for pulsar and infiray is generally 4 to 6 months. Our Holo was out of action for 1 whole contract and there was no loan or replacement for that duration so we had to borrow one off another contractor to get through.

The original poster wanted pros and cons:
pros, reasonable image quality, lightweight and user friendly.
Cons, expensive spare batteries, long wait time for repairs, price point for slightly better image quality is quite high compared to cheaper models
