I'm looking in to bringing a couple of those mounts on my next preorder. Closes in about 2-3 weeks. PM me for more details.

So I was wondering if the replica EO 3x you have is any better in eye relief, quality or alignment when mouted on the FTS, and have you tried an AP 3x using the same?

As far as I can tell - ALL brands and models of these 3x magnifiers (both AP and EOtech) are coming out of the same factory. The only differences between the two is the exterior grip. The tube and optics are all the same. The company that repackages them may offer different mounts with or without different packaging.
Specifically, I am using Huang's (
www.dragonredairsoft.com) 3x EOTech magnifier. I previously had the replica AP 3x mag that I got from elsewhere in Hong Kong, simply branded as "China made Aimpoint magnifier" and the build quality, features and twist mount were exactly the same as Huang's.
The sighting height of both units were exactly the same, and the sizes of both are essentially the same, so switching to the EOTech unit will do nothing to raise your sight level. I only switched to the EOTech replica because... well... I'm using EOTechs.
If you still like your twist mount and would like to raise your sight level, you don't have to spend $100 to get the FTS - there are replica A.R.M.S. #17DR quick release (throw lever) mounts that raise your sight to the perfect height (better than the flip mount, in my opinion.) They're also about 1/3rd of the price of the flip mount.
If you get age verified, you can access some in my sales thread.
Anyways, the FTS does raise the sight to a good height, but despite my EOTech being zeroed, it appears on the bottom-left quadrant of the magnifier.
