I’ve tried both LPVO/red dots on my Tavors, red dot/holo ftw especially since these x95’s are meant for CQB engagements, also its easy hit torso size steel plates out to 300 no problem with the X95 with a holo/red dot. I run Aimpoint T-2 on my x95 and an Elcan Spectre on my T7. Both are excellent options IMO.

All depends on the individual's eyes, as just about everyone I know has some degree of astigmatism.
In which case the prismatic scope or LPVO would be the best choice.
For healthy eyes, there is really not much need for magnification on the X95, which was designed more for shorter engagement anyways.
For those of us, that are capable of hitting the broad side of a barn (if we could only see it first), magnification is almost a requirement.
3x prism is the best of both worlds and it could still be used as a red dot by employing the Binden shooting concept (assuming it is capable of illumination of course)

EOTech & magnifier works great for me - the OEM BUIS co-witness, and the height is JUST enough for me to be able to shoot it.
BUT, sight height is an issue - the struggle is real.
If I'm wearing gear or a sweater/thick jacket, I need to cant the rifle about 15 or 20 degrees left to get a cheekweld and sight alignment.
I can either run the EOTech and magnifier on a riser and lose co-witness (and have it look awkward), or run the Manticore rail and lose the BUIS.
Not sure which route I'm taking yet.
On a related note, although you require a VERY tall mount (no drawbacks to the Manticore rail here) - an LPVO is ideal for the Tavor7. Mainly because with 7.62, there's more capability for an LPVO to take advantage of - and the trigger is noticably better (not aware of any aftermarket solutions for the 7 yet).
With modern ballistics software and BDC reticles, it opens up a whole different level of bullpup performance.

Ran a Razor 1-6x ontop of a 1.98" sphur mount this year and loved it but I hardly ever used the magnification for our 3 gun matches. Just took it off and replaced it with a Mepro RDS V2 & 3x Magnifier. The weight savings are minimal but I like the setup so far. Going to run it through the winter and decide which I like best for next year's matches.
Last year I ran a Vortex Prism 3x (gen 1) and found it a very good starting point for the price. I tried the Gen 2 3x & 5x but did not like the eye relief so I sold them both.
I would really like to try an Acog/Holosun combo (RMR sunburst my astigmatism to the extreme). The holosun circle dot is prefect for those close range shots, especially as a secondary optic.

Oh come on, everyone's Semi auto here on CGN shoots MOA.
Holo for me as well! 3-4 MOA guns is silly to put an optic on.
Which Spectre did you run on the T7? Stuck between 1.5/6x and the 1/3/9
It doesn't print pretty groups on paper at 100m but hitting an ipsc at 600 yards consistently is achievable. Have never tried a prism but it would be difficult without an lpvo.
+1. but i do not have the x95 just the plain tar21 ...
I run a trijicon 1-6x28 credo on mine. I have astigmatism so red dots and holo sights are pretty useless to me as the come up too stary.
Absolutey love me lpvo. Had to put a 1/2” riser along with my ADM QD mount so I could get the proper height.
