Has anyone had any experience with the Bushnell Holosight XLP?
http://www.bushnell.com/products/riflescopes/specs/53-0021.cfm

I am wondering how it compares to EOtech, it looks similar but sells for about $150-$200 less. Are they a good deal for the money, or is it another case of "you get what you pay for"? I am looking to put one on my AR and my main concerns are:

durability: It doesn't have to be combat-proven, but it should withstand a few bumps.
Apeture(sp?) size: The sight area looks smaller than the EOTech's, is it still useful for quick aiming w/ both eyes open?
Sight picture and reliabilty: does it compare with the EOTech's ability to be sighted upsidedown, at a 90* angle, frozen in mud, and on a day that doesn't end in 'y'?

If anyone has any experience with them please write a review, I did a search but didn't turn up anything.


Thank you,

Here's a short writeup by somebody who mounted one on his KelTec SU-16:
XLP report at KTOG.org
The guy sounds pretty happy with it.
The aperture IS smaller versus the other Bushnell and Eotech holosights. It uses AAA batteries (versus AA or N of the Eotechs). Sorry can't help you out more, no firsthand experience
