"No aperture window sight option" What is that? |

So what prompted the change? So was it the Dick trying to be a DICK? Quoted:

elaborate? Probably CQB sight option...put the front sight post in between the "Wings" of the Rear sight and fire away at close range. At least that is what I would do...  My guess is a mixture of these two things. |

I wonder how it has "Better optics compatability" Did Gen 1 not work well with optics?  The only problem I've seen is the rear sight is not as low a profile (when locked down) as other flip ups like the troy unit, so it did not fit under a magnified optic where others will. Maybe they trimmed it down a little? |

They are indeed lower profile to clear optics better, among the other changes. The front sight also has a bunch of changes, and has a spring lock on the post, so no more pinning and stuff like the old one. I can't tell from the catalog if they're compatible with standard posts though, although I seriously doubt Magpul would overlook that.
