I have a standard Colt.
It has an Aimpoint PRO. I like red dot rifles to have a flash light mounted but haven't added one because the hand guard doesn't make that easy. So that lowers it for a grab and go when I have another choice. So I picked a Colt upper with a medium profile barrel and an M-lok hand guard that could be easily fitted with a light making it complete without messing up the standard hardware.
But the red dot I was going to put on was roughly $1000. So that brought up the idea of using a LPVS since it was in the same price range and I only have one of those. It's a Kahlas so any scope is going to have to compete with it's glass. It definitely puts the Strike Eagle out of the running.
But would I add a light to a scope rifle? I finally decided that 800 lumens was sufficient for inside 100yrds. with the red dots.
I have a rifle mounting a 3x magnifier. I'd like to up grade that so one way or another I'm probably getting an LPVS. But which to choose. I am leaning towards the Razor 1-6.
