xps2-0 an aimpoint and now the xps3-0

I have the xps2-0 an aimpoint and now the xps3-0 and they're all great red dots however this one is a little bigger than the xps2-0. The only real recommendation I can make is if you don't need the night vision compatability (which i did on my AR10 and is why I bought this one) and you're set on an eotech, don't waste the extra $100 on the xps3 and just get the xps2 the only difference between the two is the price, the button placement, and the fact that the xps3 is night vision compatible where the xps2 is not

This is the EXPS3-0 model, as the title and description on this page don't exactly make that clear (as of 08/2011).

The big plus for the XPS series is the size, using only one CR123 battery. The downside is the lower runtime, although most modern black rifle pistol-grips and buttstocks have space specifically designed to hold extra batteries.

The other main strength of this model is the quick detach mount and it really is a breeze to take the sight on and off. According to the spec sheets, the quick detach mount is no worse than the normal mount for return-to-zero performance. However, the shorter single battery models show 2 MOA return-to-zero rather than 1 MOA of the longer 2 battery models.

The quick detach mount also means this model sits a bit higher than the regular screw-on mount. I personally wanted this, as I didn't want the fixed A2 front sight on my AR co-witnessed with the holographic image. The backup iron sights are still viewable in the lower 1/3rd of the lens, and if an unobstructed view is necessary the QD mount makes that easy.
