what?!?!
Aimpoint snobs are kinda like colt snobs I guess 
They can give you a million reasons why they are better, but for me it is pretty simple, an eotech under $400 that can mount right on your gun without having to buy a mount like you do on the super special military op that makes your gun shoot 5x better aimpoint just makes more sense to me, I don't know maybe I'm weird. I bet if the military issued eotech then they would become the magical red dot that aimpoint is.

Hey Josh and lillysdad,
I have a question, what Aimpoint would you suggest for a guy like me? Non LEO, likes to plink, looking at shooting some 3 gun down the road, shoots about 2 - 3000 rounds a year in my AR. I want something for quick target aquisition up to 75 yards, on a carbine tactical type platform.
I would rather take the hit and buy something that I will utilize for a while, rather than buy something and upgrade later. If I have to, I would rather wait and save up a little longer to get a quality unit that will last.

4MOA vs 2MOA? Any particular reason why? Just curious on the difference. Good price, thanks for the link!!
Aimpoints are great, but for what you are looking for, an ACOG w/ the DR optic would be a great option. They are pricey, but they are damn nice!
An Acog with a Docter for 75yd shooting, a couple thousand rounds a year? Seriously? While its an awesome setup, when used within its parameters, its not what I would call optimal for anything remotely resembling what he described.
Gillman, the dot size is purely user prefeence. I prefer the larger 4MOA dot, as I feel its faster. Others feel the 2MOA dot offers better accuracy...

Aren't those agreeing statements? Larger dot; faster acquisition; lower accuracy. Smaller dot; slower acquisition; higher accuracy. Wouldn't the user preference just be which is more important?
