The Burris optics are good optics, they just aren't built to the same standard as the Aimpoint, anything will break with enough abuse, but I was referring to if I drop the Aimpoint on the the concrete it has a very high probability of working and keeping its zero. The Burris optics will stand up to regular use without any issue, but I wouldn't trust them to have the same reliability after a spill onto concrete.

I have two buddies that run the Burris optics I mentioned with zero problems.

EOTech is awesome. Paid $489 for my XPS 2-2 from Jensons. If you want magnification the Burris AR332 is good. Very clear glass with Burris. Be careful what you wish for with magnification, cqb not very good even with 3x. Ordered a AR Tripler and pivot ring last light. Best of both worlds with the EOTech in my opinion.
