I know it's not a feature anyone can't live without, but I think it would come in handy sometimes... I often find myself sighting-in or target shooting at my home-range right up until dusk, at which time it gets pretty hard to see the reticle on a dark background. (Also, if it does crap-out, you're still left with a standard duplex reticle - it's not like the scope won't work at all)
So I guess my real question is - for those that have used the Leupold illuminated versions - has Leupold got all the bugs out yet? Does it work the way it should?
