Try to look at them both, between the EOTech and the Aimpoint its a personal preference thing...between the EOTech and the Bushnell its a quality risk.  I'm not against getting a cheaper optic from a reputible company like bushnell but at the price difference I would get the EOTech.

I have an EOTech, like it and don't have much experience with an aimpoint.

EoTech because you dont need a mount, aimpoint because of the battery life... Get both!
FWIW I have a EoTech

I have both EOTech and Aimpoint and I like them both for different use.

I like the EOTech large circle for quick aiming and I'm using it for mainly close work.

The Aimpoint have more battery life and I'm using it for outdoors up to 300 yds.

I think EOTech make the bushnell sight, for what ever that is worth.  The EOTech has a roll cage that goes over it to protect from drops and other impacts.  



+1 for the EOTech

Do not buy the bushnell.
You will only end up buying the EOtech in the end.
Save yourself some time and pain, and buy the EOtech now.

Everybody has an opinion, but I like the Aimpoint.

And I like the EOTech...but the Aimpoint is a very high quality sight, just not my PERSONAL preference.

The best thing to do is try both out if at all possible.
