I have a couple EOTECH 516s, a discontinued model that takes two CR123s. I have always really liked the reticle and always thought the auto shutdown hate was a bit over rated, but I have been getting back into more organized competition and last month shot 3gun for the first time and laying in a case on a bench waiting on the next stage was long enough for the damn thing to shut off. I have a couple of Romeo5s (that shake awake) and have started to think my love for the big red donut was maybe over rated, and maybe the single dot is just fine. And after using the SIG on a couple of guns the EOTECH starts to look kinda clunky, even if that is just perception. But damn the H-2 is ~$750, and the PRO takes a battery that nothing else I am going to have takes.
I am glad I caught this thread because I was overlooking the MRO until:
So I know everyone loves the Aimpoint Micros, but is there a downside to the MRO? Part of what I like about my EOTECH is they run on the same batteries as all of the flashlights I have (including some that might be mounted on the gun) but at this point the 2032s are common enough also.
And yeah, an MRO without mount being $420 and a H-2 being $732 without mount is part of why I am asking.
I also like the notion that the dial is more accessible to my off hand. It is not as svelte as the H-2, but not as portly as what I am used to.
