Quoted: Also consider how important (or not) it is to you to be able to remove the EO Tech and, when remounted, have it return to zero. That is one of the two major benefits of the Larue mount.

I can't speak for anyone else but I've had pretty good luck getting return to zero when remounting my 552. The key is being consistant each time you mount the sight.
The QD latch is a nice feature but I don't remove my EOTech very often so it's not that big a deal for me.
I also have no problems with the front sight getting in the way as it ghosts out when I'm using the EOTech. Maybe I'm weird but I also like to maintain the same cheekweld with both my irons and my optics so I don't need to raise my EOTech either.
In my case I view the LaRue mount as and interesting well made mount but it's not something I need.
With that being said I guess I will have to change my ways because in the future all the newer revisions will have a raised base...
