Son in law has one, and he likes it.

I have one and its great.  The dot is crisp, and the glass is nice and clear with no coloration or distortion at all.

The auto-sleep feature is nice because I never have to turn it off.  The included mounts are surpurb and the build quality is great.  It has a life-time warranty.  Plus it's slightly angular lines make it aesthetically a little more pleasing to the eye than all the other micro-dots; but that is subjective?

I found mine on eBay with a B.I.N. price of $135 back in June.

I just picked up a ROMEO 5 XDR for $185 shipped and love it so far. I have not used it yet, still need to zero it. I like the simplicity of it, the auto on/off, and lack of turret caps. The bikini covers are very nice as they are molded into the design of the body. I also like the battery location out of the way on the bottom but very easy to access. I also like the AAA option as I always have several spare AA and AAA batteries in my house. In a pinch I can steal a battery from one the TV remotes on the way out to the range.

Where did you get it at that price? I did a search and lowest I found was $249 and ordered it. Mine comes in today and will be tested this sunday. Like you, those are the reasons I purchased mine. I hope this optic turns out to be a good one. I also like the eotech style reticle. I have a eotech on my short barrel 308.

That one isn't the XDR (eotech reticle) version. The Romeo 5 XDR is $249.
