I am going to purchase and Aimpoint PRO for a recent build but I don't know whether to choose the regular mount or the cantilever mount. My other Aimpoint is a micro in an ADM SOCOM mount and I am going with the pro to save a little bit of money, yes I know getting another mount negates much of the value of the PRO, but a PRO can be had regularly now for about $350 and an ADM mount is about $110 which is still cheaper than the cheapest Aimpoint micro+ mount option I can find which is the H-1 with Larue mount for $626.

Which style of mount do you prefer? I currently have my micro mounted as far forward as possible but when I have experimented with it being closer to my eye I like it. Using a regular mount will have the optic closer to your eye while shooting, does anyone here prefer that vs the cantilever?
