Going on a budget AR pistol, Any pros or cons between these two budget optics. I I am inclined to the sightmark as it looks more like the EOtech. But what do you think you guru optic guys?

Sig Romeo5
or SightMark with quick latch:
How are you using it? Will it have a brace? Home defense, target shooting, SHTF...? What batteries will it use and is battery life important? Indoors or outdoors, how bright do you need it? Without more information, you might as well ask what vehicle should I buy.
Eye relief is the key factor. Even with a pistol brace, your head will be a lot closer to the sight than with a rifle stock (ATF limits length of pull on pistol braces).
Between those two options the Sig Romeo, hands down. If you get it, use Loc-Tite on the mounting screw, and tighten it up relatively hard. They come loose easily. The optic itself is awesome for the money.
sig romeo has a much better rep if those are the only two choices. You might also look at some lower priced holosun, primary arms, and vortex sights.

just some stuff I have been looking at putting on a 22 and a 5.56 ak
I would go with the holosun if it's cheaper. They make the romeo for sig and some of the primary arms siights.

Vortex all the way, the lifetime warranty on electronics is unmatched. Electronics are shock sensitive, it is not if but when they fail.
Well I was about to lock in on the SIG Romeo until I saw the Vortex that dirtmcgrit pointed to me.. I like Vortex because of their reputation. ehh, choices choices choices.. I still have time to do my research.. Waiting on the pistol parts to come for the build.

Thanks, it will be a while before buying.. I still have to build the pistol first and sight it with iron sights.. Once I am satisfied with the build i will buy the red dot sights.. looks like it is a tie between the Vortex cross fire and the Sig Romeo5. The SPARC II is almost double the price..
Only 5 year warranty on sig electronics. Only company with unlimited warranty is Vortex.
