There have been folks that say that at least some of the Holosuns (507s & 508s, at the very least) are terrible under NODs. Debates are whether it's just extremely poor light transmission under low light or if there's issues with differing indices of refraction between visible and IR.
I have consistently argued that I'd rather change the batteries on my ACRO ever 2 weeks than change my RMR batteries every 6 months, if only because I'm OCD, and feel a need to rezero after every battery change, which means ammo and time; if you trust your witness marks and/or torque specs, then not a big deal. I have also found the RMR's tint to be an issue in low-light conditions, particularly against low-contrast targets. I remember shooting in the rain with my RMR, which had some scratches, and the steel had been dinged up enough that most of the paint was gone, so trying to find the target, combined with the tint, made it a fair bit more difficult, as being right eye dominant, putting the window of the RMR over the target meant that the tint was starting to obscure the target, and the differing complex sight pictures made it much more difficult to reconcile the images between my left and right eye.
