Not exactly. The windage adjustment dial sits flush in the sight's housing, so there's nothing sticking out that can accidentally be knocked around or re-adjusted. The adjustment mechanism is a decent sized slot that can be adjusted with a thick coin or a case rim. It has a reasonably tight friction fit that it isn't going to budge from it's setting unless you are trying to adjust it.
One other thing, I believe it's a bit smaller in profile so if you are running an optic, it doesn't take up as much rail space. This is more important with optics that have access controls on the rear of the faceplate (i.e., EoTech's). Depending on your forearm height you can push EoTech's to overhang the delta ring and forearm so that may not be an issue, but if you are running a 512/552 that uses AA's along with M4 handguards, then you'll be constrained how far forward you can mount the optic. In this case, the smallest possible BUIS is a good thing.
If you aren't running any optic, have you considered a conventional removable carry handle? There you get full A2 adjustability, but again, you have the knobs sticking out, prone to all the problems that the LaRue is designed to correct. You just need to figure out if those design features are important to you.
