I'm going faint thinking you guys strap RS sights on to your guns, but hey... if you got the cash go for it.
I'll stick to my iron sights for outdoors.

I use all real optics for airsoft, EOTech, Holosun, Aimpoint etc., from my experience replica versions of the above optics do not hold up to the long term abuse and are pretty much a waste of money.
"Good" replicas of the above cost around $50-$60 and are likely to break, you can have a Holosun for $200. If you play a significant amount of airsoft, that does not seem like an outlandish amount, especially since it will outlast a traditional replica.
Additionally the performance in terms of glass clarity, retention of zero, adjust-ability and night vision compatibility among other things make real optics far superior. Aside form that if you shoot "real-steel" guns you can swap them over.
