Tried both.
I'm not certain of this but the MRO seemed to have slightly more than true 1x to me. More distortion than the true 1x of the pro. Add to that the fish eye around the perimeter of the glass. Very noticeable. I walked into my local outdoor supplier really wanting to get the MRO. After handling it for ten seconds I said nope! I'll stick to aimpoints. And believe me I really don't like aimpoints. They are everywhere, everyone loves them, and the contrairian in me wants to like something, anything more than the aimpoint. At the end of the day though there is a reason they are so ubiquitous. |

MRO would be my favorite optic if it weren't for that horrendous glare. Had 2 that both experienced it.

Picked up a PRO years ago from PSA for $350 and still love it. Wish my T2 had a dial that was half as tactile.
No time behind an MRO. |

If red dot is the question, Aimpoint is the answer. I prefer T1s and t2s, but the MRO is not true 1x. fuck that noise.

Have both, like both, but prefer the MRO for its size.
My MRO had problems (windage way off) but Trijicon has great CS and they replaced it. New one has been fine so far. I have 2 PROs. One has more blue tint than the MRO and the other has less.

I won't be much help, I have ARs sporting PROs, T1s and as of today a MRO that I sighted in this afternoon. If they were all just one or the other I'd be just as well off, seem to like them all about the same.

Got a Trijicon Reflex and now feel those things should be considered as a gateway drug.
An ACOG TA33GH then gave me my next fix. Then the Aimpoint / MRO quandry hit me. I chose MRO and I'm happy as a guy with a new set of tits to play with. Your mileage may vary. |

Man this thread is deadlocked!
I have an MRO, but honestly its my first 'quality' optic. I didn't try anything else. I love it and would get more, but honestly I wouldn't mind trying the Aimpoint PRO as well. The MRO is built like a tank(7075 aluminum), in Michigan, the dot is crisp, the glass is great, the brightness dial is great, the mount it came with(factory co-witness) is plenty good enough. Has a bible verse on the side if you're into Jesus(psalm 18:28) I got it from AIM Surplus maybe 6months ago for $400 +tax, shipped free |

Pro seemed/felt cheap and ran out of adjustment on a friend's M&P 15 rifle. I have a T-1 and ML-2 and you can tell the difference.
The MRO on the other hand, seems legit. |

I've been eyeing the Primary Arms 1-6x and 1-8x Second Focal Plane scopes. The First Focal Plane would be nice but it's $1k / 3x more expensive. |

I have owned both and for me the PRO is the easy winner.
Trijicon makes great kit. However, in this segment, Aimpoint has them beat. |

MRO. Not only is it lighter w/greater battery life, the controls are more ergonomic and it comes w/a lifetime warranty (AP's do not).
Out of all the dozens of people who have tried one of my MRO's, not a single one has complained about (or even commented on) tint, magnification, etc. The PRO, while a good optic, still has that exposed switch knob that can break from impact rendering the optic DOA (there's a reason the CompM4 & M4S went to a knob that's physically disconnected from the switch).

The fisheye and blue tint were too much for me to justify buying the MRO. I was very disappointed because I wanted to love it.
