what RDS for my 870? trs-25 or sparc? pics with either on your 870?

Based on price vs. quality Id go with the TRS. The SPARC is almost twice the price and comes with a bunch of stuff you probably won't need. Like the doubler that triples distortion and reduces FOV to a dime size hole and risers for AR's. The TRS is smaller, lighter and doesn't have a giant control panel on the side that gets in your FOV when shooting with both eyes open. Oh and they're $130 new, less than a used SPARC. Any other questions? 
I have tried both on my mossy, went TRS. Sits lower on rail, brighter dot, doesn't accidentally turn it self on, plus I have a messa tactical side saddle shell holder and the control box of the sparc sticks out to far and interfers With the shells in rack. I vote TRS as well.
There is already another thread on this. I had a TRS25 on a Wingmaster with no issues.

I have one on my rig.
I still prefer the EoTech Holo Sight nodels as it gives me that circle that I can use for ranging and also the fact that I can use it for patterning and also hold overs but I do give up alot for all that. Since I switched over I find that the tube effect on this optic sight and the 12g work great at close range even if the optic isn't even turned on. Plus that red dot sitting nice and low is way better than tring to focus on the the fiber optic front post I have installed on my rig. But I am starting to rant and you want pic's.
Perfect for turkey hunting but not so nice hughing it around the woods straped to your back and/or sitting in the truck between the door and your seat when hunting.
Shown here with the trs-25 perfect for straping to ones back while hunting white tail in cyotee country.
The only draw back to this optic is the fact that I did have one crap out on me. Well actually it fogged out on me but if you get the Mesa shell holder like I got it will give you a little peep contour underneath the rail to still be able to see the front bead.
Now as for my longer barrel that has the fiber optic sight on it. I only brake it out for competions but I slap on my EoTech for that so I can hold more rounds and bust clays further out.

Since this seems fairly settled, does anybody have a preferred dealer to buy a TRS-25 from? Best price?
Thanks,
Mark
Their website is never up to date, they have way more in store than online. Give them a call, they always seem to have a pile of TRS-25s under the counter.
