Cost cutting maybe ? But the black one looks the same when viewed from above. I dont think tube housing makes much of a very huge performance enhancement ?

maybe they use different tubes for lower cost , as tubes account for most of the cost in NVGs ,
Now as different tubes will have different dimensions thus different housings .

Tonbo's is Rs. 4784900/unit which is $57k ($17k more than their US counterparts)

EOTech or L3H's Quads for instance come with Remote Battery Pack, Connection Cable, Hard Storage Box, Padded Transport Case, Batteries, Lens Cleaning Kit included with the $40k and I assume it'd be the same with Tonbo's

The higher end of Team Wendy high cuts are ~$1600 ish including all the accessories mentioned in that bid notification. If they retrofit with an upgraded internal padded lining and 3.0 rail kit, that's ~$200 ish combined putting the whole thing under $2k

The whole point of going with an indigenous platform like Tonbo's is to improve and encourage the local defense industry assuming they're getting a similar or slightly inferior product for a relatively lower price compared to their western counterparts. Not to mention, I still quite don't understand these piecemeal orders in absurdly low quantities

Tonbo's Quads are actually more expensive than EOTech or L3H (see the post above for reference) while they look nothing similar to the pictures in their brochure

Which is the better holographic sight Eoctech xps or Meprolite ? Did SF got Ak203s or only frontline infantry guys got those?

Meprolight doesn't make any HWS AFAIK, they're into Reflex Sights,RDS,RMR, Magnifiers and LPVOs only. Saw some pics of AK-203 with em as its not limited to Infantry only.

Personally I would choose EOTech EXPS HWS-3 over any other HWS at present.
