Not worth it just get a real BUIS. FMJs-of-Freedom
I figured something with a higher ferric content would be more buIs.
The overall cost really isn't that bad - I guess when I came to this question I concluded that for my uses the DD Fixed front with existing Trijicon front post would be very easy, so I discounted the MBUS because the tritium once installed would cost as much as the rest of the sight.
My other original argument would be that the tritium in a backup sight would be for when Murphy is really having a laugh, but the MBUS haven't shown to be a liability in the durability dept.
That said, it would be a cheaper overall package by a little bit to go with MBUS - I guess I would retract my suggestion to: while you're at it, evaluate the cost difference up to a DD Fixed unit, then decide what works best for you.
I'm not convinced I want to do a fixed front sight at this point. I have Troy BUIS with a night sight on one of my other carbines and I'm very happy with it, but for the price and the good feedback I've heard on the MBUS, I thought it would be a less expensive alternative to try.
