Great optic! - Trijicon MRO 1x25 mm 2 MOA Reticle Red Dot Sight

I was shopping for an optic for a 10" AR, and it was between the MRO optic and the Aimpoint T-1. I went with the MRO after looking through both at a local gun show. They're both ~1X (some say there's slight magnification, but I don't see it) but the biggest difference is the view: The T-1 feels like you're looking through a tube and the MRO doesn't. After looking through both, the MRO is winner, hands down. I can't talk to battery life yet, as I've only had it a few weeks, but the brightness is very good, even on a sunny day.
