ok, so today I went to the range to sight in my eotech and my aimpoint. The aimpoint resides on my rra carbine. It sits in a larue mount. The eotech sits on top of my RRA midlength in a larue mount. First I sighted them in at 50 yards and the shot from a bench with a bipod enough rounds to get a general idea of how each felt shooting at 50 yards. IMO I was more accurate with the eotech but it was much slower to target, also I think the accuracy had to do with the fact it was on a midlength and the recoil was VERY soft. Switching between the two guns was difficult for me to do as I did not want to put the midlength down.
I liked the way the aimpoint's view was, I dunno it just felt more natual looking through it with both eyes open rather than the eotech....
Anyway here are the targets. The holes in blue were from when I was sighting them in.
eta: top targets are the aimpoint, bottom are the eotech.

and finally the underside of the larue 150 mount for aimpoint:
the notch is to unscrew that small cap and in it you can put another aimpoint battery(for use every few years...)
also, the difference between the regular throw lever and the new one with the safety:
