Exactly why I went from EO Tech's which I liked, to Aimpoint T1's.

Different strokes. The battery life of my Eotechs has met my needs. It gives plenty of warning and between the grip and the stock I could store several extra batteries (one is plenty). I can see how the longer battery life of an Aimpoint might be important in some applications but for me it's a mere convenience and something that has played a very minor role in my choice of optic.
I guess it depends on the intended use. Even the small Eotechs are good for 600 hours, or 75 days figuring 8 hours of use every day.
For a combat operator, maybe not sufficient. For recreational use or HD, seems sufficient for that. The Eotechs turn off after 4 or 8 hours, so a dead battery is less of an possible occurrence in my view.
The downside is you gotta turn it on first.
run 1-4x if you dont like batteries
Aimpoint all the way!!
Aimpoint, set it forget it!
