The layout of the EOTech display is known for fast and reliable target acquisition which is its own win for ease of use, so the two models tie on this point. When it comes to environmental settings and durability, Aimpoint PRO takes the lead again.
Secondly, while both weapons are made to withstand military operations, the Aimpoint PRO has a better reputation for sturdiness, has been tested against a range of chemicals, is shock proof, and can function in a wider range of temperatures than the EOTech. Both optics are waterproof to some degree, however the EOTech is only resistant down to 10 feet, whereas the Aimpoint has no problem delving down to feet, taking another obvious win, if a highly waterproof sight is what you require.
If your primary values are a wider field of view, greater precision from your reticle along with a preferred reticle design over a hard-to-find red dot, particularly if affordability is a key factor, then the EOTech will suit your needs perfectly. The EOTech sees a lot of military action and has a good reputation in this regard. It is most notable for speedy target acquisition which is also key for hunters.
At the end of the day, both sights have a lot going for them and both sights are very capable. A big part of your choice will boil down to personal preference, so if at all possible, its best to get you your hands on both of them to test them out before making a firm choice. Configured Weight.

About the Brand. However, the Aimpoint T2 reportedly lasts up to 50, hours or potentially 5 years on a single CR lithium battery. While we specifically compared the T2 against the EXPS3, these features will remain pretty similar across both brands for all red dot and holographic sights offered by both Aimpoint and EOTech. The Aimpoint T2 has 12 brightness settings that can be adjusted with a turret dial on the right side of the optic.
Beneath that dial is the windage adjustment and the elevation adjustment turret is on top of the optic for zeroing in the red dot with the rifle. Aimpoint also offers a 3x and 6x magnifier which works in tandem with the T2 very nicely. The T2 is night vision compatible.
Older EOTech models will have their brightness setting controls on the backside of the optic which typically is fine. The EXPS3 also has the added bonus of night vision compatibility. To switch to night vision mode simply hit the NV button, also located on the left side of the optic, and your reticle will be visible to you and only you under the darkness of night. In comparison with red dots, the light from the optic can easily be seen by others in the dark.
This is where preference meets ease of use. The only other one-off batteries in my kit live in my Leica rangefinder and my garage door opener remote control.
