I really have grown attached to that Sepia color display on the Apex XD50A model along with the 4 options of colored reticles.
Im addicted to black hot. On those nights when the thermal is good its like watching a black and white western lol.
I have colored backgrounds on the Helion and don't use them. I run white hot on the Helion and black hot on the Trail. Just personal preference. Colored reticles would be great but not an option due to the high-recoil requirement for the Pulsar Trail OLED screens resulting in a B/W only option. Not sure if it is the OLED screen on the Helion, but I can look through it all night and not get a headache even without using the colored backgrounds. The main benefits of the Trail are the recording features, rechargeable battery, etc.
As far as POI shift, I have called Pulsar to report some anomalies including the tests conducted and my results. My tests do point to a potential POI shift happening with temperature changes. I live in ND and our weather is about as drastic as any place. Even with a potential shift, it hasn't kept me from harvesting over 60 coyotes so far with the Trail in the last few months. I still need to do more testing. I absolutely love my Pulsar units and can only hope my feedback will help Pulsar isolate and fix any potential issue. If anyone wants to compare test results, PM me. If others are having issues, call Pulsar/Sellmark so they can get as much data as possible.
