I would be interested in hearing more about this, as well. Well, interested in the "or more" part, not just use as a range toy. I need to figure out some way to put an optic with some magnifying capability on my AR, as low-budget as possible, and from what I've read and seen the Strike Eagle seems like a clear winner in the budget category. But very few sources I know I can take seriously have taken a serious look at one. Also, the weak illumination does concern me a bit.
I've got the 1-6 and 1-8 coming thanks to cstactical.
Once I get them and hit the range I'll post up an initial impression with photos.

Does the 1-8 have the exact same reticle/illumination as the 1-6?

It does not have the same reticle:

I've owned one for 18 months and just bought another one last week.
First off, I'm in no way a pipe hitter, operator or LEO. I do run n gun biathlons which can be hard on equipment. I also like to have weapons and gear that would fare well should I have to use it in a home defense role. .
I don't get the illumination problem some are discussing. Mine are visible in bright daylight. Most of the time I have to keep it low because it can be too bright. It also holds a zero even after hard use.
Is it a razor, swaro or S&B? Of course not, but it's a fraction of the price and does what's it's supposed to period. I have the means to spend $$ pretty freely but for my use I just can't justify spending 2x, 3x or more when this package works so well.
Here's the obligatory ending... YMMV.
