Trijicon RX30 Reflex

[Sooper Jenius]

Has anyone had any experience with the Trijicon RX30 reflex?
I'm looking for an optic for a home defense/CQB M4 carbine (6.5MOA dot is, well, i can live with it since this rifle will probably never see a target more than 100yards out - my local range is only that long anyway).
Before I begin, I know a bunch of you may say "get an Eotech", but they're out of the running for this application. I have nothing bad to say about them, but none of them have a constant-on battery life I'm comfortable with with, and I sure don't want to tell a burgler "hang on a sec while I @#$% with my optic..."
My first choice would be an Aimpoint CompM4, but it's just to damn expensive for my budget.
If I were to get an Aimpoint I would get a CompM3 from LaRue Tactical with their offset tactical mount. The battery will last pretty damn long (longer than the CompM2 that's only $60 cheaper, hence the M3 being my choice) it's rugged, relyable, it's an Aimpoint.
This set up is still $150 bucks more than the RX30 though, and Trijicon is a relyable name as well. What I want to know is:
Has Trijicon really addressed the wash out issue the older reflexes were known for (at least for any practical application - not woried if it'll wash out if i'm pressed right up against a wall with a Tactical light, or some lighting situation were I couldn't just as well use the BUIS)?
Will the flat top mount (colt style thumb screws) co-witness with my back up iron sights, or do I need the A.R.M.S. mount?
Is the 6.5MOA dot REALLY that big?
Or should I just eat the $150 extra bucks and get the Aimpoint?
Any opinions would be much appreciated.

I have had one of these for years. I suppose that it is one of the older models to which you refer. I'd buy another in a minute.
The one that I have has a very small dot, smaller than 6.5 moa ( I could be wrong about that since I don't see a smaller dot offered. It doesn't seem that big to me.). It is small enough that, for a while during a Winter League, I had it on one of my Bullseye pistols. It was heavier than I wanted and so I ended up moving it to another gun. It lives now on a pistol that I use for hunting - a T/C Contender 10" barrel chambered for .30-30. It is an ideal combo.
If, or when, I buy another one of these, I will look to buy one with the amber triangle. The point on the triangle provides a much finer aiming point, especially at longer distances.

My company uses the trijicon red dots. 6.5 moa. I LOOOOVE this red dot! They are on all 500 weapons on site. If my company trusts them, I do too! I am looking into purchasing one for my Panther....

There's a recent thread at www.ar15.com in the optics section with multiple pics of the new version addressing this very issue.
