You shouldn't be concerned on how sharp the dot on the Aimpoint is because you should be using it more for aiming reference and focusing on the target.

Yes but it's somewhat distracting when you see a red dot and see some glare reflection or when it's like a weird oval shape.

I disagree.

I only look at the dot and usually achieve exceptional accuracy.

I have a couple of T1 micros, a 2moa and a 4moa. I like the 2 moa for a bit more crispness in the dot on lower settings. I have not compared them to the other sights mentioned, though I do think Vortex makes good gear. Jerry Miculek seems to be pretty smitten with then (yes I know hes sponsored by them) but his endorsement should justify a good look into them. For me I wanted something tiny and light that could take a beating. For inside 100 yrds its hard to beat. I used to run an eotech but didnt trust it after the reticle washed out. Eotech did replace it to their credit, but I wanted to move on. The point i have arrived at now is red dots are good for quick acquisition in close environments but leave ALOT to be desired (for me) for quick acquisition on targets that are either longer range or are partially or mostly obscured. Ive been looking at the Elcan Specter DR, the newest optic for some of the military's more specialized branches. Yes its alot, but if it helps the bullet get from point A to B with greater precision and speed, maybe its worth a look. Just my two cents.....I want a optic that's a bit more versatile is all.
