An Eotech by itself is very fast but yes the magnifier will slow you down some while it's in use. Keep in mind though that the magnifier (with the right mount) is kept swung out of the way until you need to take a long shot. The downsides are weight and cost, the magnifier and mount will add something like half a pound. On top of that the magnifier and a decent mount will set you back $250-650 depending on the brand of the magnifier and the mount.
