Vortex Sparc

Anybody used one of these?

It weighs 13.6 oz, thats almost 10 oz more than a 1'' ultra dot plus the 60.00 higher price tag. I cant see any advantage to it at all in bullseye, its only claim over other dots is it says its brighter but ive never not been able to see the dot on any ultradot, even at camp perry in the bright sunshine.

They weigh 5.2 oz thats 1.3 oz more UD. There supposed to compare to aimpoint

Ok, guess amazon was wrong, here is what they list; Maybe they meant boxed for shipment, in that case to me it would still be on the heavy side.
