Yes, I can co-witness through both a micro-Aimpoint or an RMR, but why not just go with an RDS that will work all the time?

Facts matter...Feelings Can Lie
So I also had an RX06 on a rifle - http://www.vdmsr.com/2014/11/trijico...moa-amber.html
For a rifle, my recommendation is as others, get an RDS.
For shotgun though, and please take this with speculation as I've never run a shotgun with a triangle, it may work well if you understand the spread and drop...

I don't own the dual illuminated model, but I would have two concerns:
1) the inability to adjust intensity could cause a different situation than washing out, but rather that it blooms in low light, like hunting deer first light.
2) if the emitter gets moisture on it, it starbursts bad enough that you can't use your aperture sights on the Benelli. With the RM06, you can turn the emitter off and I believe get rid of the starbursting.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
I sent a few T&E'ers with the new MI/T2 mount a few questions. WIth as much push-back from everyone as I'm getting on the RMR...even from people who've used it, I am really hoping the MI mount gets it done. I think a T2 would be stellar for this application, if the mount is G2G.
For someone with astigmatism, is the dual-illum RMR better than just straight irons? If I get taller irons to fall back on if the reticle washes out, wouldn't having the advantage present most of the time be a worthwhile investment?
I've tried both T1s and RMR06 and they're really useless for me.
If you're application is on a pistol? I'd still say no.
I tried the RM08 on a Suarez milled Glock because I also have an astigmatism and wanted to jump into the micro-dot on a pistol club. I was trying to "buy skill" as my friend had a similar setup with a Doctor Optic III and was shooting clays at 50 yards easily. I couldn't shoot from a covered position looking into the sunny range in Florida and track the green triangle as it washed out so bad. In testing at home using a flashlight (in my case an X300U or E2D Defender Ultra) the triangle again became a ghost and not track-able. I was really disappointed.
I would not recommend dual illum models (outside a few specific needs). Standard LED models work well (coming from someone with astigmatism). Unless batteries are an issue, look at the LED models. The triangle is a very niche reticle. 99.9% of folks will be best served by a dot
