FWIW, I have no idea how the Accupoint 1-6 is in low light. I've only handled them in a shop setting. It was struck from my possibles list due to its 19oz weight. Did a lot of soul searching before the 16oz VX-6 was purchased. The Accupoint 3-9 weighs 13.5 oz.

Most folks probably aren't as concerned about rifle weight as I am. I cover a lot of rugged ground and pack out any game taken. A light rig is a right rig for my use. Ain't getting any younger, ya know.
