Red Chevron Vs. Amber Horseshoe... Life altering decision!

[Packy14]

I have the 4x ACOG tritium red chevron with 5.56 BDC and love it, but the BDC is worthless for my 16" AR and the optic costed more than the gun. I'm an idiot.

Works fine on mine to 500. Don't blame the optic.

I need a quick answer. Just to help me decide.
I have an option of a Trijicon TA31F W/Red Chevron and rail mount for $1000
or
I have a Trijicon TA31F-A w/ Amber Horseshoe reticle for $800

Red Chev, is NEW
Amber/yellow, is used, but in good condition and comes with original case and misc items

On one hand, We have a nice Red color
On the other, We have a not so attractive buTT, at a great price.

Is the $200 worth the yellow?

I have never owned a trijicon. Have shot various times in the Marine Corps, of course they use Red chevron. I see a lot of mixed reviews but mostly no one likes Amber. Any thoughts?

Amber has a shorter tritium warranty too

I like my green over the red Chevron. I have both.

Red Chevy for the win.
