    The thing about battery life doesn’t matter to me as most people change the batteries once a year anyway. If battery life is important to you than that is a factor.

    The problem is the battery life quoted are in the average setting. Most guys tend to run their red dot on brighter settings and battery consumption is not linear.

    T2 Battery life - Day time use: 5 years (50 000 h) of continuous use at pos. 8 and over 10 months at pos. 10.

    I understand that. The t2 I can’t see unless it’s at 10 or so.

    That's not been my experience with mine.

    My opinion on dots I’ve owned
    M4s- nice dot, big optic
    M2- nice and cheap. However Aimpoint doesn’t warranty these because 90% are from the military
    Old MRO- didn’t like the blue glass
    T2 - didn’t like it , dim fuzzy dot
    T1- didn’t like it, blue glass
    EXPS2- red ok
    EXPS2- green nice bright green better than MRO green
    Compm5 - love it, clear crisp dot
    New MRO- ok
    New MRO- green more yellow dot washed out
    MRO HD- haven’t had one, read one review that you could see the grid inside the optic then actually saw the video where I could see the grid in it. Got scared away
    Vortex sparc II- work makes me use this. Seems ok. Holds zero
    and batteries dead every time I shoot it

    Aimpoint changed the LED output on its micros. Serial Numbers 46K need a setting of 9 to equal the dot brightness of the older gen's 8. I have six T2's, five older gen (used to own three other new gen) and this is the case across the board. I do not know the exact SN# this effect started, and I do nit know why Aimpoint made this change, but it seems like a feature regression. You exponentially lose battery life for the same power output between the two...

    I only will look at older T2 models as viable.

    Two MROs come and gone. I have and will be keeping an Aimpoint Pro in a Wilcox mount on my A4. My 6920 has a Comp M5 in a Scalarworks lower third mount and suits me to a tee. My old eyes appreciate all the sharpness and clarity I can get, and the Comp M5 delivers. The fine dot allows hits at ranges I never would have believed, so I'll not risk my credibility by asking anyone else to believe it.
