I'm running a Primary Arms 1-6 LPVO on one of my ARs, I really like it. It's got an illuminated chevron reticle in the middle with hashes for windage and drop compensation. That said, mine is a "general purpose" gun and I don't intend to shoot it much past 300 yards. If I ever plan to shoot further or at smaller targets like prairie dogs, coyotes, etc. I like more magnification. I think LPVOs are a great option for shorter range, to mid-range work, especially when you suffer from astigmatism, like me, and red dots look like a red octopus glaring at you.
