Agreed 100%. In my mind they are a great value and I own 4 on all types of guns. The DPP doesn't hold a candle to this optic for competition use. If it was merely for EDC or combat use I would go with the DPP for much smaller glass, longer battery life, and possible better overall durability. For competition the FTP optic is simply amazing. Glass clarity, optic crispness and true dot shape, size of viewing window, ease of usage, etc. I think there may be a couple codes for $10 off but haven't looked in a while.
