At $300 I'd buy another EoTech since I get dealer pricing. But at say $250 I'd get one. 
A new CQB optic - would you buy it?

Yea, 444. That is about it. I try to twist everything into 3gun use. I can buy more stuff that way.
I know it says that it is a CQB optic, but since it has 4X magnification, right there I tend to put it into a more of a general purpose category, while still being a good CQB site. As far as selling them, I would probably be able sell them better as a general purpose optic, rather than a CQB specific optic.

I think that as long as you could make the scope durable and the illumination was bright enough for daytime use, this scope would be successful at that price point.
Zak is right on the eye relief though. 3.5-4" is too much eye relief for most ARs. With that much eye relief the objective has to be mounted forward of the barrel nut to even be usable and NTCH is impossible. Not much point in making a $300 scope that can only be used in $150-200 mounts or in conjunction with a $300 rail system.
Even with just 2.4" of eye relief, the objective of the TA11 has to be mounted just over the barrel nut to use it NTCH. I've got 4 rail slots between the back of the mount and the front of the rear sight - that is plenty of room to move it back for those who don't care for NTCH.
The other issues with eye pupil, battery, etc. are all nice to haves; but would probably raise the price point and I think this scope could succeed without them as long as the retail price point is kept below $300. The eye-relief is a deal killer though I think.

How hard would it be to make another calibrated for, say, 7.62x39 or .308 instead of .223? If it could be had for one of those calibers, I would buy the optic for sure. Otherwise I'd probably just save a few more pennies for an EOTech.
