The difference (in my mind, and with my 40-something eyes) is that it's
harder to see stuff in the cockpit at night. Every task from instrument
scan, to reading a chart, to tuning a radio, to copying an in-flight
reroute becomes more difficult.

That's a good point. It wasn't until I had about 25 hours of night VFR
experience that I decided I could be comfortable with some night IMC.
