Any pics?
Also, how do you like their rear aperture?
Here's a quick picture I took on lunch. I like it, for my eyes its a good size.

I've been considering a set of something like this for my SPR. What are your thoughts on:
1.) Left vs. Right offset?
2.) Weight vs. regular BUIS?
3.) How "catchy" they are on other gear- I'm chiefly concerned about this, which is what's kept me from looking further into it.
Thanks!

I really wanted to like the fixed offsets but being fixed was a disadvantage to me. With my light offset on the left side and sights on the right the rifle was suddenly 4 inches wide. I went with the Troy folding sights and have been happy with them.

For me...right handed so right side. I'm assuming VIP3R is a lefty...
Shouldn't be "catchy" as they'll be on the off side or far side, away from gear.
Weight - not a major concern for me...more concerned with durability and speed.
I see your point about the added width...never really thought about that and I too run my lights on the left side...hmmm
To me the debate between Fixed or Folding offsets depends on what your rifle is set up for.
I prefer fixed as they are always ready to go, and my rifles with them are set up more for 3-gun and predator hunting where that extra second or so to deploy them could be the difference between win or lose (not that I'm good enough to worry about winning) or missing the coyote.
Now if the rifle was setup more for a battle/class gun where they are strictly backups I would prefer the folding style like the MBUS Pro's which IMO outclass the Troys all around.
Snag factor isnt as great as I thought they would be, on a skinny KMR they look like they stick out a mile but in reality a light or optic stick out as much if not more.
