Clip ons worth it?

So I just bought a thermal clip on to pair up with my nightforce nx8. My thought process was I do way more day hunting then night. So I didn’t want a dedicated scope just for night hunting. But I do want to get a little more into night hunting. Now im not sure I made the right choice, or im going to be happy with it.
Any one have good experience with clip ons?

I went with the Sig Echo cv25
The lifetime warranty is what sold it for me.
I know there is not allot of information or reviews out there for it.

I assuming ? that the Term, clip-on is manual Collimation ? That you can do image shifting to witness day scope zero . I have only owned NV clip-on's so I just curious. except for the pvs9 that is manual, others are collimating factory set.

I’m in the same boat as you, except I haven’t pulled the trigger on the clip on yet. I shoot NX8’s exclusively so I’m interested to see how you like your set up.

I’ll have to keep everyone updated. I’ll play with it soon as I get it but won’t be really putting it to use till my barrel also comes in
 
I have a lwts and it is a true colimnated clip on, and it works really good and I never have wandering zeros like a have with dedicated thermals,but it was expensive, I have friends who bought clip ons that are not colimnated and it seems like more work than I would like, I would rather just use a dedicated thermal than the ones they use.

I just got it in, it pairs up with the nx8 very nicely, it has two different modes. Clip on mode (no reticle, besides the reticle on your day scope) and stand alone (own reticle and zeroing abilities, with 1-8x zoom, so can run as a dedicated unit).
I’ll have to give a better review after I have a chance to get out and use it.
It only takes me about a second to take it off or put it on,
