The XE AMRS is the XR with a replaceable coin cell instead of the built in rechargeable battery.  People have been asking for a 6MOA red SE, so they made one.

Why does the XE look like the glass sits much higher above the slide than the C model?

Its nice to have reticle options. But that sits way to high for me. Makes irons worthless and still no button lockout.

I do not understand why they continue to do this. There have to have been enough people giving them feedback that want this option.

I have the green 6 MOA SE on a Canik MC9 and it's been great.  If the XE was avail in green I might have gotten it for my full size but got a Holosun EPS instead.

I don't get it either. They have something good going but won't add that one feature. Makes no sense not to add it.

OP did they ever tell you why they won't add lock out?

That deck height is absurd.

They had a bunch of people that said they thought it would make using it too complex.  Stupid reason, I know.  To be fair, the buttons are stiff enough that I don't think that I have had any of mine (over a dozen at this point) change brightness or modes unintentionally while holstered, and I lay on my gun all the time.

I suggested a third button for optional lockout on the opposite side of the sight body so that you had to intentionally pinch the sight between two fingers to change brightness, but that likely won't ever see the light of day.

Well making it a battery tray instead of a smashed on the bottom battery or side mount with cap forced the added deck height.

That's to bad. Yeah they aren't going add another button. My four are holding up.

The Holosun EPS has a lower deck height with a side battery tray. I think the retractible iron sight adds to the height. I’d rather it no retractable iron sight and lower deck height.

There are things coming.  In a couple of days they are releasing something else I've been playing with (different footprint) that often shares similar applications and would be an alternative to the XE AMRS.  They've been releasing teaser images of the footprint pressed into sand; if you know what the common optic footprints look like (or can mirror images...) you can figure out what it is.

Do people still use delta point pro?  I cant remember the last time I heard about that except when PSA blew out the last of their Dagger slides with this footprint.

Seems like they keep going backwards

And still no lockout mode

Vortex does for most of their Defender line. I use them because I prefer them over Holosun.

PSA never made DPP Dagger slides.  They made (shallow) RMR and Docter cut.  But there were inconsistencies in optics, such as the viper not fitting correctly while the venom (old open emmiter) did.  A big cluster fuck.
Froot Loops are all the same flavor. They just taste like froot. Whatever the heck that is.

Yes, you're correct. I got the DPP mixed up with the Doctor
