i like the smaller pin too...reasons already stated.

one thing i have found is that it doesnt matter how bright your pin is when you can barely see the animal....keep that in mind...these lighted and super bright sights are cool and they are bright but they dont really help after a certain point...

what im getting at is after a certain point its just a gimmick and nothing more. go with the smaller sight...and stay away from the ones that have exposed fiber optics that go into the end of the pin(cobra sidewinder style)...they like to pull out, because sooner or later your gonna snag it with a twig....right now i have 2 broke pins on my 5 pin sight.
