The Lucid has received reasonable reviews, but Im not sold. I looked and one, and its quite bulky, and seems poorly made.
I have run the Vortex Sparc, and I really dont think there is a better optic made in that price range. I destroyed one, but it involved an eight foot wall, full tac gear, and a short fat man.
Primary Arms has received stellar reviews from those who have used them.They are very reasonably priced, and everyone I have talked to seems to like them.
In the end, I still feel one is money ahead to go with the proven EoTech/Aimpoint level of quality. You can find used CompM2 Aimpoints in the 300 dollar range pretty easily, and EoTech for even less. I have not been the biggest EoTech fan in the past, but I recently purchased an XPS EoTech, and so far I am liking it.

Hmmm - the Sparc looks pretty cool. I never looked at any of Vortex's Red-dots other than the Strike-fire and it seems to have the common complaint that it doesn't have a brightness setting adequate for a sunny day outdoors.
I may have to check more into that one - I definitely like the Primary Arms Red-Dots (both M3-style and micro-style), but I'm finding myself more into the micro-style than the full-sized. I will say that the Primary Arms Gen3 micro is lighter than most other optics I've seen.
The Lucid seems to be appealing in that it looks like an Acog and has changing reticles, but it has no magnification and weighs almost as much as a full-sized Acog. And $239 is kind of steep for what it is (still, I'd like to try one out).

I have a Strike Fire, and it's plenty visible for use outdoors in the sun. The only issue is the location of the power button. It's easy for it to be bumped on when in a case due to it's location. Some ingenuity is necessary to come up with something to prevent that from occurring.
