SKD is the only one I'm aware of that's offering them at this time. I have no doubt G&R will have them available shortly.

If the actual price is still over $700, I'm back out.

Well, for what it's worth - the old 4MOA is also MSRP:ed at over $700.

Would the smaller dot help if you have an astigmatism and you see the dot as a comma or a comet?

Astigmatism is the reason I originally bought an M4s instead of a 4 moa T-1. Honestly, out in the daylight I don't think it would matter. For me personally the astigmatism only becomes an issue in low light, but if I turn the dot brightness down to a reasonable level I still manage to do Ok with it.

The short answer to your question is that I think the smaller dot would be more beneficial.

In my experience, it boils down to the type/severity of your astigmatism. I have both an M2 and PRO, so a 4 and 2 MOA. As Steve points out, in bright light conditions I see both dots fine. In low light however, I can only make out the the 4 MOA on a low setting. For whatever reason, my astigmatism will not allow the 2 MOA be focused at all in low light, no matter the setting. I should add that my TA44 ACOG with the green 2 MOA dot is clear as a bell.

I am just getting ready to buy a T-1 but it is going to be the 4 MOA because of my astigmatism. A shame because I have 20/20 uncorrected vision otherwise. From what I gather, the 4 is closer to a 3.4 so it might be a good compromise. It's not like the 4 MOA unit is a hunk of junk...

2MOA T1s are in country and shipping soon with the same MAP as 4MOA T1s. H1s are coming next.

That's interesting. I wouldn't have thought that would be the case.
