I've been looking for a lightweight, rugged optic for a light SBR build. EOTech's new MRDS looks like it might be perfect. Anyone tried one yet?

I have used one in conjunction with other optics. I would be worried that things would get in the way of your LOS.  I don't know for sure but maybe the front buis would get in the way, any kind of thumb over top rail grip may get in the way.  I'm not sure what kind of mounts are available but I would be worried it sits too low.

This is wierd...

L-3/Eotech is touting this product as theirs, for $650.msrp

Insight is touting this as their product, selling for $399 -$550 w/ variopus options.

WHo actually makes this?

I'm sure it would need some sort of riser.

Insight was the original manufacturer. L3/EOTech purchased Insight. That is my understanding but I don't have time to verify this at the moment.
