I have a LE 6940 and the reason I purchased it was the Colt quality and the flip up sights. For Optics I use a Eotech holographic.

I prever flip up sights because I primarily use the Optic and don't want to have the front iron sight in the way. I want the flip up as back up only.

I also have a M&P 15 OR (Optic ready) with no iron sights and a NiKon M223 optic. Also a Ruger SR556 with the flip up iron sights that came with it. I am going to put a Burris 1-4 optic on that one.

I prefer the flip up sights so I can have the flexability of optics without having the iron sight in my sight plan. I am not going into battle but just shooting for fun.
