I've had an Aimpont ML2 for a while.  A buddy of mine likes it so well he wants my entire setup(LaRue Mount, ML2, Arms Flip up BUIS site)  on his Bushmaster.  Don't ask me why because I told him the exact same thing could be ordered for him.  So I'm considering it but looking at various options again before saying yes or no to him.  

I will use a LaRue mount for sure but I considering going to the Troy folding Rear site.

1.)I considering the ML3 as a replacement to the ML2.  For those using the new ML3, have you found the small dot slowing you down for close work?

2.)Would you consider the EoTech 512 Rev F sight in a LaRue mount as rugged as the Aimpoint?
There is nobody local to me with the EoTech sight.  All I've seen is what has been posted on this site and others.  I like the big circle with small dot concept.  I know the battery life is shorter.  Are there any other minuses when comparing it to the Aimpoint?

Quoted: 1.)I considering the ML3 as a replacement to the ML2.  For those using the new ML3, have you found the small dot slowing you down for close work?

I have both the M3 and M2. If you turn up the brightness on the M3 one notch higher than necessary (to clearly see the dot), the little bit of dot bloom makes the dot work well for close in work.
