I misread your post as "aimpoint" not the Trijicon accupoint.
If you're comparing a Trijicon accupoint to an illuminated Vortex strikeagle - I'd pick the Vortex hands down, every day. I have tried both, and the Vortex seems clearer and more refined than the trijicon.
Neither are bad choices, but for the extra clarity (even though it uses batteries) - I'd still look harder at the Vortex and see if the extra couple hundred dollars is worth no-batteries and Name recognition.
I shoot 'yotes, woodchuck and possum from inside a dark barn out into a field (bean/corn depending on rotation) with a strike eagle. The illuminated reticle helps a ton on small dark colored targets when shooting from dark to full light. A regular crosshair gets a little lost on brown to darker colored game unless you're holding over for windage.
