What is the difference between the Gen 6, 7, and 8 Micro dots?

[#1]
Gen 7 fixed base. Brightness on top

Gen 6 and  8 removable base for a riser. Gen 8 has extended front for included killflash.

I plan on ordering a gen 6 , maybe two of them.
I know the emitter is around the 4 oclock now, are there are any issues with co-witess on an AK w/Ultimak rail?

None reported. There is a lot of variance in AKs so I can't be 100% sure. If it does not we will swap for a Gen 7.

just got my gen six.  It is nice!

Yes, they have longer battery life, smaller dot, and emmiter to the side for better co witness.

Do they (the 6 & 8) fit a LaRue Micro mount?  I assume the fixed base on the 7 prohibits this, yes?

6 & 8 will fit but they sit a little higher than a T-1.  The LT751 in the lick works fine.

Do the gen 7s use the same led as the gen 6 & 8?

Yes just not the removable base and the illumination knob is on top not the side.
