BTW, while some may say the comparison is apples and oranges (and I see where the SPLP sight would be a better mechanical match) I have to disagree. Many people don't compare the Troy to the SPLP, which is substantially closer in cost, but rather to the ERS, because the cost difference becomes more apparent, without any significant performance loss. IMHO, the ERS's greatest difference, and the "flaw" that prompted me to buy a second Troy was the two-plane sight aperture. I simply cannot for the life of me juggle two different zero's, much less make the difficult choice of which one to zero with, knowing my precise shots must be made with the small aperture, but my large aperture is in my face as the sight comes up.
Thanks for doing the community a great service, this is one of the more important topics that people ask about, if you can include any more BUIS's, I think the sky is the limit.
