I've been wanting to try their Aimpoint mount for a while now, but just haven't gotten around to it. They seem like they product quality products with a lot of thought into designs, particularly efficient use of materials and shaving off weight where possible, which I appreciate.
When you mentioned that you feel this sight is 2-3 steps above the competition, what sights did you have in mind? I have a range of iron sights on my ARs with DD fixed front on most with some having the DD fixed rear or ARMS folding rear sights. Never had a problem with those, but that's not to say that there aren't better products. I mean I'm all for paying more for quality products, but $239 for the set is pretty pricey. But I guess compared to the $$$ I spent on other components, it's not that much. . .

The front sight adjustment seems gimmicky to me. While I can see the convenience of it, it's not like the "old school" front sight post was super cumbersome. I am all for innovation, but sometimes I wonder if the need to be different, thereby driving price up, is warranted.
Looking forward to seeing your thoughts after shooting with it some.
