Well, it's not really a "red dot" optic. It's a magnified scope with an illuminated reticle that has a red dot in the center.

The dot is only 1.5MOA in diameter. This makes for a really small dot. The great benefit of this one is that if the illumination is turned off, the dot is black and can still be used in the daylight.

I don't see the illumination knob as an "eye sore", but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

The situation where it will be dramatically valuable is in low light. Under those conditions an illuminated reticle is invaluable.
