Expensive is a subjective term. To me the Troy irons fall into the category you describe but to others they may not.

What do you call not too expensive? That would help people to guide you in a more appropriate direction.
 
The Magpul Mbus ones are fairly solid and certainly would be the cheapest ones I would ever consider. I prefer Troy battlesights personally. They can be had on the EE for very attractive prices. Magpul MBUS Pros can often be found on sale for attractive prices too. Midwest Industries are also nice, but beware of KRISS take-offs which have short front sights to account for the pistol round's trajectory.

If you want them in the event your optic fails, which is basically never, then the plastic mbus ones will do just fine. If you actually want to use them, then I would say go mbus pro or troy.

I enjoy shooting irons often so there's no reason to cut any corners. The primary difference between the troy and the mbus pros is that the troys lock in the deployed position and require a button to collapse, whereas the mbus pros are closed/open by spring & detent pressure only. They're still solid though.
 
I really like the fab defence sights. They are smaller, lighter, and cheaper than the MBUS, and also clear under all the flip magnifiers nicely. They are polymer tho
 
Magpul mbus is the all around value option. The pro is slimmer and nicer for a bit more. The kac sights are pretty nice. Money no object the era tac sights get the cake for me.
 
for cheap another vote for Magpul Mbus, for a bit more money the Magpul MBus PRO are quite decent.

Troy BUIS are the standard which all other sights are measured.

KAC BUIS sights are the nicest I have used, but they are expensive.
