Quoted: ya spot is the brand name

Thanks, I haven't been keeping up I guess. I just checked one and it came with a mount(not carry handle).
My son was in the same financial position as you and he bought a Tacpoint and a ARMS 2 mount. I am not comparing the TacPoint with the Spot because I have no idea which is better. I am thinking about the mount and future use. My son used one on his carry handle for over a year and many K rounds and the set up held zero. The ARMS 16 is a great mount but if you decide to put a scope or other optic on you will have to buy another mount. I prefer the look of the #16 mount but if I wanted to be practical I would get the ARMS 2EX, the extended version of the ARMS 2. ithttp://www.mountsplus.com/miva/merchant.mvc?page=MSP/PROD/arms_mounts/2EXTENDED.
I probalbly will get flamed for this but some time ago I was placing a large order and saw a ProMag mount like the ARMS 2 EX for about $12. Since the shipping on the order was free I bought one to check it out. I just dug it up and put it on a carry handle and it seems fine. It didn't fit as tight as the ARMS (had to almost force the ARMS in) but I tightened it up and it seems secure. Possibly someone will chime in and give you their opinion. Its the Promag PM100. If you want to know where I got it I will check my invoices and let you know.
BTW, you might try the Equipment Exchange. Sometimes there are some really good buys there. Let us know how you make out.
