"I never learned from a man who agreed with me." Robert A. Heinlein
The offsets serve as buis though they have dual roles as primary sighting up close. You can also train to shoot indexing your optic up to approx 15yds. i.e. through a dead aimpoint or via the top of it.
Off-set irons are BUIS to me. Have never really seen a reason to have a set of folding BUIS and off-set irons, unless the off-set irons are folding BUIS.
If I seriously thought that my main optic was going to go TU so bad that I would need to remove it (thereby rendering the off-sets the primary sighting system), I would probably just grab a second optic. And/or pull one off of one of my other long guns (one of the benes of LT/ADM/Bobro mounts).
Given the number of military rifles designed, particularly of late, with dinky, almost useless BUIS intended for use with a fixed power magnified optic (AUG with built-in Swaro, SA80's SUSAT, the Elcan Spectre DR and both TA01NSN and TA31ECOS ACOGs, &c.), I don't think I would worry overly much about having both folding and off-set irons.
I'd rock your KACs and forget about it.

I would probably just have 1 set of BUIS. The 45 offsets are awesome, if you can transition easily.
The 45 degree offsets ARE the BUIS.
I'm trying to imagine why one would need two sets of BUIS. All I can think is that it goes a little past redundant.
Maybe the idea is to alleviate the use of the 45* offsets if the optic fails: following removal of downed optic, revert to 0* BUIS. Just a stab in the dark.

Never sit at the bargaining table with an empty stomach.
I have the dueck offset sights as my backup. Never really thought of having another set of backups but if you want to why not?
HK416 10.4"
-Surefire SOCOM 556 RC Suppressor
-Surefire SFMB-556-1/2-28 brake
-Geissele Rail
-Larue Aimpoint T1
-Surefire X300 Ultra
-Dueck Defense Rapid Transition Sights
-Redi-Mod
-HK translucent polymer magazines
-HK Foregrip
do you have a total flat top or a fsb? i have offsets and a reddot magnifier setup on one. My colt has a flip up fron and rear and offsets. probably going to go with either a reddot /magnifier or a scope, havent decided yet
if you are going to run dual buis make sure your optic has a quick release. but everyone has there ideas.
buis for scope..offset for last resort close in..you wouldn't use offset for distance. For all the guys w/ buis and a red dot, this isnt the same discussion..right?
