No optic is an absolute co-witness on any VZ mount.
Bottom third to bottom quarter is what you can expect from a TRS-25/NEA combo.
?? The post before yours seems to contradict you. The NEA blurb states explicitly "absolute cowitness".
No, the previous post does not contradict.
"Absolute co-witness" means that when you line up your irons and the dot, the dot will appear centered in the optic's tube.
The NEA description is incorrect. As I said, you'll get a bottom third to bottom quarter co-witness.

Yeah it's slightly lower than dead center. Only slightly! Irons were on so I lined up irons and then put dot on front sight post and it's bang on. I kinda lift my cheek up a bit so irons aren't lined up this puts the dot above front site but it is still bang on. I find this more comfortable. Great fun!!
Stevo is correct. Even the Trs-25 (which I have on one) does not do absolute co-witness, it's lower third.

The trs and aim point must sit lower than the sparc.
I can't line my irons up and be looking through the glass.

The dot emitter is on the bottom of the Sparc's tube and blocks that part you need to co-witness on the NEA/VZ combo. Another reason I prefer the Bushnell.

Yep that's why. I never really took the time to investigate.
Once my sparc dies I'll be getting a bushnell or T1 for sure.

I'd say its preferred due to the irons taking up less space in your optic.
Better field of view, less clutter, quicker (folks have a tendency to still line up the irons which causes issues because with a dot you're supposed to look at the target, not the dot) but still available instantly should the dot fail.
Good answer. It happens instinctively, if you have absolute co-witness, and can slow down placing rounds on target.
