Now, I do agree that they'll pretty much all do the same thing in almost the same way (well, the cheap ones; I'm assuming that's what we're talking about here), but I disagree with saying that they're a waste of money. I have a G&P EOTech clone mounted on my WE SCAR (the only gun I have an aftermarket red dot on; I'm not counting the P90 because that came built in), and I have it more because I think the iron sights that came with it are absolutely useless (I can't see anything through them to save my life) than because I think it looks cool (and to me, it does; it looks damned purdy to me, but again, I got it to be used, not admired).
As far as which one is for you, which one do you like the look of best? I mean, I like the look of EOTech clones, so I'm going to continue to get those. You might not, so I suggest you find one that you like externally, then look for a clone brand that's proven to be reliable (NcStar, G&P, etc.).
