Not sure. I’ve wondered that as well, but we’re required per policy to have our front sight constantly folded up or a fixed front on red dot guns. So I’m afraid you’d have to run the offsets up.
I’m going to make a list and throw it at our range guys, and see if anything sticks.
The other side is I can’t find a QD 1.93 mount for my MRO.
Mmmm, didn’t think about those duecks. My light is currently mounted on that side, but I may have to make something work.
If you move the irons to the side, you can put a light at 12 o'clock. That works even better with a taller optic mount. I just built a rifle using the Geissele 1.93" mount. For now I have a Scout light at 1 o'clock, but eventually it will need offset irons since the G mount is not a QD. If the irons can't clear the Scout properly I'll put an X300U at 12 o'clock and call it a day.
I do enjoy the heads up position the taller mount allows when shooting upright, but when prone I find it less effective. It may just take getting used to, so I haven't give up yet. But I also remember what Defoor taught about dying in the prone. Can't say I'd never use prone during a real event, but it's pretty low on my list since it sacrifices mobility. I have a tough time envisioning many scenarios in LE where I'd have the time/distance to shoot at someone far enough away that I'd use traditional prone. Urban prone - sure.
You can also drop the light to the 5:00 like a bunch of people do with MAWLs and other IR lasers. I wish SureFire sold the sights separately, I feel like a FO front Dueck and rear pro would be a nice combo. Not sure about the huge A2 hanging over there 100% of the time.

I coincidentally mounted up a P4Xi last night as well. If you like the MI system and don't want to deviate from it, they make a 1.9" tall version of what you have.

I paid something like $95 for mine from Optics Planet on Black Friday, so there's definitely deals to be found.
For a ‘minimalist’ approach, Warne rings come in a variety of heights and sizes, and give you the option of QD if you want it:
