EoTech XPS2 or Aimpoint H/T-1. (Or something else all together, I do prefer a small form factor.)

I am leaning toward the EoTech, I know I wont go wrong with either.

But would love some feedback from people who have tried both.

T-1 has waaaaaaaaaaaay more battery life than the Eotech. It is lighter too IIRC.

Any opinion when it comes to recticle vs no recticle?

I like the idea of the recticle hence, me leaning toward the EoTech, but I could also see it maybe as a slight distraction.
But also the benefit of maybe being able to target quicker.

A Trijicon Reflex will blow away the Aimpoint in terms of 'battery' life

and the 1x24 models are relatively small.

It all comes down to personal preference. Look at both and pick whichever one you like best. I personally liked the eotech recital better than the single dot.

Eotech 553 for the reticle and FOV with best battery life from Eotech or Exps for most compact Eotech with 1/3 mount.

Aimpoint Micro for the battery life and compact size or the Comp M4 cause it uses a AA battery.

I did find a T1/Lt660 on EE for a great price.

I have an Aimpoint Pro and love it. Bought it about 5 months ago, not sure if prices on this have shot up a shit ton or not but I paid about $400 for it

I have a XPS on loan from a friend while he's in Africa, and was going to buy one for myself. But I don't like the buttons for brightness adjustment. If to bright it gets as fuzzy as a 70s porn star. Also the 600 hour battery life kinda sucks. However, when the brightness is set, it is damn fast. I really do like it, but I want light weight above all else. And the 50,000 hour battery life is nice as well

Some are better than others for co-witness so know what you want to do there before narrowing your selection.
