New SKS report and tech sight question

I have been using red dots for years and have yet to have one crap out, if I ever did I would just grab another SKS with iron sights. They are so cheap everyone can afford at least two.
 
If you only knew how much of an electronics geek I am, you wouldn't believe me saying this, but it's nice having backup once your electronics crap out. For now, I'm using the stock irons as back up for my reflex setup (dovetail screwed into the side of the receiver, shortened AK mount, red dot), but I will wanna put on some Techs eventually.
I bought a Bushnell TRS-25 and it malfunctioned before I could fire a shot. Bushnell Canada charges $10 for the repair under warranty and I was also stuck with shipping costs of $14. I am not a happy (Bushnell) camper.

For plinking or hunting I would use these sights but I would never rely upon one of these cheaper sights for defense purpose and agree with TRaTSeRiF that iron backup is essential.
