Solid scope but questionable firedot - Leupold Mark AR MOD 1 1.5-4x20mm P5 Dial Rifle Scope

I paid extra for the Firedot model. The base scope is solid with clear glass and positive feedback on the turret clicks. I also like the built-in BDC on the turret but in general prefer BDC reticles.
My review primarily focuses on Green firedot. It is bright enough for daylight and mine was centered correctly. However, the single push button/battery cap combo to control brightness and power is clunky. More importantly the pressure plate for the button often gets stuck preventing any adjustments. The only way to fix this is to unscrew the battery cap and screw it back on. I find that over or under tightening the battery cap contributes to the problem.
I took off a star for this reason and wouldn't recommend paying extra for a Firedot that has such questionable ergonomics.
Leupold by the way was more than willing to take it back for inspection and repair. However, I had already mounted and zeroed the scope and didn't want to deal with the hassle of remounting. I am doubtful they can rectify the poor design.
