I like my aimpoint pro. Save money since it comes with a mount. Not as long battery life as a comp, but still pretty damn long. I have a primary arms micro dot which is like a t1 but with a fraction of battery life. I will someday also buy an eotech

I like both.  If I can be so bold as to post my pros and cons of each. I think that there is no right or wrong answer.  Both of these optics are tough as hell, I've seen videos of both being run over, dropped, smashed and keep on ticking.

Eotech pros-
-Generally cheaper than aimpoints
-Larger sight window for fast aquisitions and better co-witnessing iron sights
-More modesl to choose from to adapt to different battery types
-I find the circle and dot to be faster aquisition than just a dot.  I also enjoy having a 1 moa dot vs a 2 or 4 moa as are on most aimpoints.

Cons
-Slightly less "tough" than aimpoints, though I've seen many destruction videos and it takes ALOT to hurt one of these suckers
-Less battery life than an aimpoint (still impressive though)
-When its raining heavily, the window is more suceptable to getting wet or foggy

Aimpoint pros
-Arguably slightly tougher than eotech.  Probably due to farther recessed glass and a more robust "tight" construction
-Ridiculously long battery life
-Less prone to water/rain interfering in glass, though the eotech would be easier to clean

Cons
-More expensive
-Smaller sight window, slightly slower aquisitions
-I prefer the circle and dot vs just the dot. I'd rather have a 1 moa dot rather than 2 or 4.

depending on your eyes. I love the eotech reticle but without my glasses the reticle turns into a blob and completely paints the target
Now with the aimpoint that dot will just have flares around it without my glasses.

I would buy a Primary arms aimpint clone that has the multi reticle feature and just try diffrent reticles to seee what works for you

My next AR will probably use a RMR.

My next AR will probably use a RMR.

The RMR's are extremely durable and the battery lasts for a century but the window is small.

I have one on a Benelli M2

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

I've owned both and stayed with Aimpoint (Micro H-1). I have mine mounted on my. S&W Model 41. On a side note, I like the Ultradot Matchdot on my Mark III Hunter pistol. Eotech used to be on my AR-15. Now I use Leopold scope.
