That does look like a good deal, especially with the tritium. Look forward to hearing about it once you get in in your hands.
 
I'll probably snatch one of these up and that'll give me:

Red Ramp
Gold Bead
Tritium/Fiber Optic

To swap between my 5" 629 and 4" 625. I like options.
 
Here's the pics as promised. I took a few photos next to the original hi viz light wave sight.

Both sights are .270" tall.
The plain fiber optic is .124" wide
The new trituim fiber optic is .153" wide

With the tops of the sights aligned you can only see the top 2/3 of the white circle. The sight is a bit wider, but with a 6" barrel you still have day light on both sides. It's day light brightness shown in the picture is ok, nothing to write home about, alot less bright than a standard fiber optic. It's low light performance is pretty good. Not as bright as my other night sights but it is still plenty bright to see, and a huge improvement over stander fiber optics. Would be very handy for those sunrise /sunset hunts. Overall the white and green help you make out the front sight pretty well but I wouldn't use the drive the dot technique of aiming , because your front sight would have to be placed over the tops of the rears a fair amount to make it work. It seems like a nicely made sight that makes for a jack of all trades but master of none kind of thing. I'm pretty happy with it.

Day light:

Indoor light;

Low light (the plain fiber optic is in the same position as the previous picture)

I'd like to mention the sight does appear brighter in person while in low light. All I have is a cell phone for pictures. Hope this mini review will help some folks out.
