Does anyone know if the new Eotech XPS series is just a battery holder redesign or are there internal improvements too? I like the new size but would opt for the ARMS mounted 553 if there are no QUALITY advantages inside the new XPS. I'm speculating...maybe the new battery angle takes care of past battery contact issues?         What say you?         Oh...and please no "get an aimpoint" replies unless you just can't help yourself...Thanks.

I've been wondering/thinking the same way.  Seems likethe battery being crossways instead of inline would take care of that one problem.  Probably time will tell though.

Waiting for reviews on this also. I really hope they are good to go. I liked my N but the drain and corrosion issues sucked.

You ORDERED one.  Let's see if you GET one.  

Botach has a TERRIBLE reputation and I have personally been burned by them.  I will never order from them again no matter what the "bargain".

I hope you fair better than most.

I've had one on order since april with opticsplanet for $469. hopefully it comes soon. I called a few weeks back and they said that eotech keeps pushing back the release date. I ordered the XPS 2.2 which has another moa dot lower for 500meters. we'll see.

I ordered the one from botach with the code today and got an email an hour later saying it was shipped already via UPS ground.  Lucky so far!  We'll see for sure when it arrives in a few days!

I ordered the XPS from them last week .... It arrived 4 days later.  Very nice and much shorter than the AA ones.  The buttons are on the back, not the side, so probably just different case.  But I do like the sight.  I've heard all the bad things about botactical but, having ordered from several several times. I must be the luckiest guy around.  They've always shipped quickly and correctly.  Go figure....

I've never had a problem ordering from them.. Well.. one.  I was using coupon codes I should not have been using (google: Botachtical coupon codes) and I got a call that I couldn't use it.

Otherwise, quick turnaround and receiving exactly what I ordered...

I have ordered twice from Botach, and both times got my order in less than a week. Got a pelican carbine case for $130. beat that deal.

I looked at it, but it is $398 using the EOTECH coupon.  The EOTECH coupon lists as a 15% discount.

How did you get it for $379?

Wondering if these will hold up to abuse.  Anybody get there deliveries from Botach yet?

I quoted wrong amount.  Apologies...  It's $398.  Was going to buy one  but bought an Aimpoint CompML3 from Manventure (what a horrible URL) for just under $400 bucks!!

Now that looks interesting. I may end up with one of these once I see some reviews. I could use a smaller one.

Got my Eotech XPS..nice..but a rear TROY BUIS I ordered is defective. My package arrived in 3 days...but a "return authorization" letter containing "whatever" they are sending me is still not here... 7days....add my name to those who will never use BOTACH again even if it gets here today.

I got my Aimpoint.  Gotta be honest... Looks great, mounted all up on my LaRue, but, I like the Eotech reticle better.  2MOA dot is not for me.   It's just a dot.  All that show and go for a 2MOA dot?
