A holosight costs $200-250.
An eotech can be had for $350 +/- a few $.
The eotech comes with an anodized aluminum shell to protect it.
Of course the costs to manufacture do not warrant $350 price tag. Just like the same product minus an aluminum shell (holosight) does not warrant a $250 price tag. Firearm accessories are way overpriced, but the low sales volume generally requires this for the companies to stay in business. Manufacturing costs are often quite low, but tooling can be very expensive. If you think eotechs and aimpoints are outrageously overpriced, you should not look at buying any nylon gear.
