Aside from being less-expensive, are there any attributes of the C-More Railway that would make it preferable to Aimpoint Micro T1?

They crap the bed more often than an Aimpoint.. Oh.. wait you wanted positives for the C-more. Umm..
Thinking..

Nope, sorry. :)
Give me a C-More anyday.
Tons less weight and a much less cluttered field of view.
However on a duty type rifle/carbine I would go with a tube sight. They are more durable.
The only C-More I have seen fail was operator error. Error as in dead battery.
I have seen many C-Mores with 200K rounds on them. The one on my 1911 has over 30-40K.

The C-More weighs from 5oz - 7oz (depending on model). The Micro T1 is 3.7oz.
The field of view is definitely what I was curious about. I've never looked through a C-More.

Like Hoser said, the FOV on a C-more is hard to beat. I think I have 5 C-mores, all on pistols. I can't weigh in on which would be better on an AR as I have no direct experience. However, for close range (75 yds in), I would think that a 4moa C-more would be very good. C-more showed a smaller form factor (like a Dr., Jpoint, etc) dot at the Shotshow -- I would have used that for a 3gun secondary optic if more readily available (Jpoint instead).
Generally, reliability is very good. The only problem that I have experienced (or seen with other shooters) is an occasional dot module go out. For me it happened at the beginning of a Nationals stage -- not the best timing for sure; lot's of point shooting and a horrendous time. But it is also an extreme use situation as I had put 30K rounds thru that gun the 2 months prior.
In most cases that's due to a bent/broken pin on the module. If you never swap modules you'll likely never have that problem.
