I decided I want an RDS+mag for my 14.5, looking at that holosun 503 with the acss.
Some day I might upgrade to unity or an adm mount.

Anything that flips to the side sucks ass IMO. Unity FAST FTC (Flip-To-Center) or ride past to a LPVO.

I tried an lovo on here. Didn't work so well
I was honestly blown away at how robust the Vortex import thing is, AND how little it got in the way flip up or side. I'm not one to ever try stuff like magnifiers at all. I really thought it would be a worthless, bulky pain in the ass, but that thing is pretty impressive.

I agree. I had a G33 years ago and sold it well before getting the vortex but one of my concerns with buying a “budget” magnifier was that the mount would be weak. I can’t compare side by side but the Vortex’s feels just as robust as the EOTech’s. I’ve also never really been bothered by the STS. The Unity version seems better but I don’t want an optic that high so I’ve stuck to having it off the side of my gun. I haven’t done room clearing with it but I have shot some rifle competitions and it hasn’t bothered me. Plus you can always just take it off if you don’t need it at that moment…

I'm NO Vortex fanboy AT ALL either.

While the FTC is a cleaner solution, FTS works perfectly fine, IMO, I ran an EOTech G33 on the OEM mount for years before switching over the a Scalarworks 1.93" with the Aimpoint 3XMag-1, and never had any real snagging issues or anything. The main thing I noticed after switching to the Unity was simply better peripheral vision, now that the the magnifier was out of the way, but even then, it was relatively minor, since I didn't run around looking through my sights.
I don't think LPVO and RDS/HWS with a magnifier are actually all that comparable, they have very different strengths and weaknesses, IMO.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
