Quoted: Aww man, I like my A1 upper! I hadn't considered not being able to use the irons with a cheekpiece, thanks for pointing that out. I'll have to look into flattops, but I like the look of the A1 better. Thats pretty lame, as the EOTech looks a little out of place on the older upper anyway. For some reason I decided against a goosneck mount, but I can't recall why. I'll re-examine that option.
I guess I need to get with the times and check out those flatties! Thanks, JonB

Only other option is to get a FF Tube (like the Troy, Sampson, DD, LaRue) where the top rail is the same height as a flattop. Then mount the optic to the top rail.
This is the most expensive option, and in most cases (DD being the exception) the weight will be more than using a Goosneck mount. However as a bonus it allows you to add a light to your rifle and give you the VFG option is you choose to persue it down the road.
