Great site but not perfect - Holosun Paralow HS503C Circle Dot Sight

I have been wanting to pull the trigger on one of these for years but I fear I did it a few weeks too soon. it seems the most recent offerings with shake awake have just come into my budget range. I love that this model has solar back up but the fact that it is always on drives me nuts! If it went to sleep after some time and shut down I would have confidence that when I pick it up in a year it would still have battery left. This model on circle dot mode has a 10,000 hour battery life expectancy. I have no idea what the LED inside of this unit life expectancy is. It will work great in lighted conditions because of the solar panel but if I pick it up and want to use it in the dark the battery may be dead because it never sleeps which is fine if you remember to change out the battery every year. One other thing that bugs me is the circle reticle had 4 hashes on it at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock position I wish it didn't because mine is off by about 3 or 4 minutes...and I know it doesn't really matter but it drives me crazy anyway. If this model had shake awake it would be the perfect doomsday site and probably never need a new battery.
