Aimpoint M4S VS T1 Red Dot Sights

You can also try to aim a camera through the Aimpoint and snap a picture of the dot. If it's round in the pic then it's your eyes that are the issue.

How come that there are times that the red dot of either the T1 or M4S aren't well defined?They look somewhat mush and don't really look like dots?More like a small stain of red dirt.Is this normal?
Thanks.

It's an optical trick of your eyes, turn the sight brightness down. It's a fairly common complaint, though the problem lies with the user (sometimes astigmatism).

You can tell if it's a defect by rotating the optic as you look down the tube.

If the "mush" doesn't change, it's you, if the "mush" seems to rotate it's the optic.

For those of you who have tried both the Aimpoint M4S and T1 Red Dot Sights,which of the two do you personally prefer?And why?Which has a better field of view,clearer red dot,and has quicker target acquisition?Which among the two also is more reliable and more rugged?
Thanks in advance.

I prefer the T1. Have had both an the only practical difference is the T1 is 1/3 the weight and size. Less is more.

Micro.

Didn't expect to like it as much as I do, but I don't think I'll really run anything else unless I don't have a choice.

And I did own an M4S previously. If I had to run a full-size RDS for whatever reason, the M4S would be it. But I'd still rather take the Micro.

I have both, love both, and could flip a coin. If I could only have one and had to choose I would lean a little more to the M4s though. TANK. I got rid of my last EoTech a few months back when I got into a few arguments on here and have never looked back, love the aimpoint stuff. You can't go wrong with either though.
