Leupold DeltaPoint Mini Red Dot Reflex sight.

Anyone used one of these on an AR?
I've been looking for a good red dot sight that fits with how my eyes work. I seem to have an easier time with the glass window type sights vs Aimpoint-type tube sights. I picked up an Eotech XPS that was really nice but it is HUGE and heavy. I liked the window but it seemed so bulky with a large shroud to just put up that red dot on a little window. I'm not knocking it, I think it was great and good for mil use but for me I was looking for something smaller and lighter, think Aimpoint Micro meets Eotech.
So next up I looked at the J-Point\RMR\Docter\mRDS but they all had some detraction. Either really really small, had giant MOA dots, or something else. The Leupold though has a wider window that's just as tall if not taller, self dimming and a 3.5 MOA dot and really light weight.
The pistol guys are using them with apparent good effect over here:

I figured if it can stand up to the beating it would receive gettting slammed around on a .45 slide then it should be fine on my mid-length 16" AR.
I'd like to see what the mounting base looks like to see what I could use to get it up off the rail so I can get the irons in the lower 3rd of the window. Anyone know if something like the Trijicon bases would work? I just want to run it like guys are running their T1 Micros.
