THE RDS to have, but useless outdoors

Review for
Steiner DRS 1x Defendu Reflex Sight
I bought this sight several months ago with very high expectations. The look, feel and feature set were perfect. Build quality is what I would expect from Steiner. Unfortunately the sight is too dim. I sent the original purchase back to Steiner (Burris in Greeley CO) three times with hope that each time I was given a return it would be "useable". No joy.
The issue I have with this sight is it is not useable in bright, outdoor conditions. Even on the center dot only reticle it can't be seen in direct sunlight against a light target. Look at the (three) video reviews of it and they are all shot in cloudy or indoor conditions.
I really wanted to like this sight but it has to go back as it is simply unusable (for me).
I would recommend the proven MRO or Leupold products over this.
