Deciphering Holosun model numbers

[That Guy]

I was looking at Holosun red dot sights and found the model numbers somewhat cryptic. A search found this web page that seems to lay everything out logically:

So, I am posting this here in case others might find this information useful.

Very helpful, thanks!

I've been waffling between an HS510c for $300 and an HE510c for $330.

From the link it looks like the main differences are
HS – a Holosun standard, non-elite model. The illumination of the device is red and the housing is made of aluminum.

HE – a Holosun Elite model. ‘Elite’ indicates that the device has one or two of the following characteristics:

• titanium housing
• green illumination
• gold illumination

Is there a way to tell from the model numbers which ones have an RMR (or Aimpoint Micro, or ACRO) footprint?

Currently, I think it's the 407, 507 and 508 lines.
