You guys that have them ... do you have the new AR with the buttons or the older one with the dial switch?
Just curious which one guys like better.

Mine has the dial and it sucks like most every other dial.
The only dial I like in on a Burris MTAC I've had for about 4 or 5 years, because every other click is off. I really like that feature.
It's very easy to return to your last setting.
My wife just bought a Vortex Strikefire II. It has buttons, but I'm not sure if the Spitfire has the same layout/controls or not though.
I've not messed with it much (it's not even mounted yet), but my first impression about the buttons is that you can't tell if it's on or not without looking thru it.
At least with the dial, you can see that you need to turn it off.
If it had an auto off with motion sense, I'd love it.
The turn on/off long press is way too long though.
IMO it should be about 0.5S, but it feels like 2 or 3 seconds.
It remembers the last settings, which is nice.
