I don't claim to be an authority on point sights, but I've used both. The amber reflex I used was great at night and in low light shooting, but seemed to bleach out a bit in bright daylight. There is no provision on the reflex for brightening the point. All this meant was about a second to acquire the
aiming point. The reflex is the ULTIMATE in low maintainance. No on switch, no batteries,effectively waterproof....
On the other hand, the aimpoint has a brightness control and a sealed battery compartment. The batteries last a long time, but they DO die. For what I use a sight for, I need the brightness adjustment more. My weapon is checked daily anyway, and I don't really mind dropping in a fresh battery every two weeks (regardless. safe than sorry).
