AR15discounts has the Vortex Micro 3X magnifier with flip for $230 now. That's about cheap enough to try one of these out.
Sh1t! I grabbed one. Good reviews and review pics on their site. QD attach too? Not much downside risk.

I'm going to try it behind the EOtech XPS for sure. But we'll probably bounce it around on several Aimpoints, and a Romeo RDS to see how we like it. We've gotten to where we know the hold overs out to 500 yards, but with zero magnification, it's far from precise. I hope to have it for next weekend.
I'll definitely post about it here.

You will love how the magnifier sharpens up the Eotech's reticle.
The Vortex is pretty good, not as good of glass obviously as the Eotech, and I'm still mad I sold mine when I sold my XPS-2, but after getting the Vortex I'm not exactly in any hurry to upgrade it back to an Eotech. I'd like a look at the Trijicon, but just haven't seen many around.
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”
The Trijicon looks wildly similar to the Vortex to me. I mean the lever on the mount and everything. If I ended up loving the concept, I'd be willing to buy an Eotech for higher quality.
What I don't get are they caps over what looks be reticle adjustments on the Vortex. The tube is even marked as such.
