Yes. As I understand it the M5 was developed at the request of groups who operate OCONUS where 2032 batteries aren't common.
The M5 uses existing T1 format mounts so that's a win. It also has a reinforced front lens that makes the optic more resistant to severe impact. That's a win. AAA batteries are cheap and Aimpoint is still saying you get the 5 year lifespan. Another win.
I would prefer some type of "S" version too but can easily live with the 2:00 battery if the optic lives up to the claims.

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
