I use 1 connected to a 7" monitor in my truck - illumination is provided by a NM800IR & the image quality on the screen is excellent. I have tried using it purely as a hand held spotter using the built in IR & it's poor & it's heavy on batteries - but if you add a T20IR torch or an NM800IR torch the image is much clearer & the battery lasts several hours.
 
I have one with an NM 800IR. I have to admit, I haven't had access to anything else to compare it with except a really old gen 1. The picture takes a bit of fiddling with , along with running the NM800 on its' lowest settings and adjusting the positioning of it so it doesn't white out the picture. I think the picture is OK, useable out to 300m anyway. The inbuilt illuminator gives a grainier picture, and at distance the benefits of the NM800 are clear.
Based on my experience of this unit, I decided that I wouldn't bother getting a demo of the DFA75 unit I was pondering, and that for now this would just be used for observation before turning on the lamp.
I think there are major improvements to come in digital NV, and the prices should drop as well.
I could be convinced to part with my whole setup which is in a Peli case should you wish...
 
I have just bought the nitesite spotter, currently on offer with £100 discount through dealers (still steep at £795 though!). Excellent range, clarity and picture quality with good inbuilt battery life. After using an ns200 for the last 12 months i have also got used to using it fairly quickly but it definitely benefits from having a screen filter fitted and would not use one without it. No retina burn when in use and weighs, handles and performs like a traditional lamp. Release has been delayed for months but its definitely been worth the wait. Dave.
