Weird thought - red dot as back up for red dot?

The arrival of an NOS offset Burkett Predator mount got me to thinking, why not use a red dot to back up a red dot? The backup would be instantly available and what are the odds both would go down at the same time? Problem is that it makes the SBR look weird with a T2 on top in a LaRue QD Mount and a RMR in the Burkett. Just too much crap hanging off of it. And then there is the cost of it all. What do you all think? Is this the dumbest idea ever or brilliant beyond words?
Brilliant? Negative Ghostrider the pattern is full.
And that’s why they make fixed irons.
My SOP says whenever my AR has an RDS, it has fixed irons. Not as popular these days it seems, you can reason why that is, I have my own suspicions.
DD, Troy, PRI, LaRue make excellent fixed irons to name a few, and they cost a lot less than a new proven optic.
