Aimpoint Comp M2 vs ML2?

[StraightShooter]

Whats the difference between the Comp M2 and the Comp ML2. Is the M2 worth the extra $50? Also I have a fixed carry handle so would you recommend a carry handle mount that allows you to still use the iron sights through the mount or would a mount that puts the optic in line (co-witness) with the iron sights in front of the handle be a better choice?

The M2 is compatible with night vision and while the ML2 isn't, but it does have brighter settings. My M2 also came with a Killflash installed, while my ML2 didn't.

DEFINITELY co-witness. Putting it above the irons is a horrible choice as your cheek weld won't be right.

Crap, now this is gonna sound like biased into, but I have a QRP and Aimpoint Z-mount I'd be willing to let go for <1/2 the price of retail.

Regardless, definitely co-witness with a z-mount on a carry handle. Or get a flat-top.

IF you don't ever plan on using night vision then the lower price and the brigther settings make the ML2 the obvious choice.
