Good link MrWilson, most all of the subject matter is covered there, but I'll chime in with my $.02

I prefer the Eotech, only because I like the larger field of view (IMHO) and the dot in circle aiming reticle over just the red dot.  I find in outdoor sunlight that the Eotech is easier for my eyes to locate over just the Aimpoint red dot.

IMHO the Eotech is better for close range and the Aimpoint is better for longer range shooting.

I've only used the Aimpoint but I know it is well balanced for 0-300.  I have seen the reticle on the Eotech once and was turned off so I picked up an Aimpoint instead.

I acquire targets much faster with my eo-tech than with my aimpoint. But the long battery life on the aimpoint makes life alot easier for me,plus its still fast in its own right, but sometimes I lose the dot when trying to make quick aquisitions. Some would argue the eo-tech recticle is to busy but for me it works but  thats why I got both. You will never know which one is for you untill you either buy both or try both out on a buddys weapon etc. Good luck either way you cant go wrong
