I have looked at the information you provided
briefly - my iniatial thought was I do not think I would like that in the hunting situations that am normally in. I am really intriqued by the front sight but I also worry about the size and possibly the durability.
Rear mounted peep looks right to me. To gain more light you can drill the peep apeture out a little larger and/or remove the apeture altogether as if it were a ghost ring. As much as I like a peep sight - I have been unhappy with themin low light.Even when I remove the apeture and have use just sightas a ghost ring, which works real well for shotguns and hunting turkeys. I really like peeps when the ligh tis in my favor.
Now all of this can change if phisically I might see what the pictures are showing me.
I have an extra problem besides being old my vision really suffers in low light conditions. Low light for me might be plenty for you and others but for me I struggle. The fiber optic really helps me compensate.
Sooo, what I have done for me is to mount a Thompson Center adjustablerear fiber optic sight about 1" up the barrel from it's normal location. I like the TC because it has a better windage adjustment than the Williams sight. The one inch is to make up for my eyes again in the normal position they are just a bit blurry one inch further away they are solid.
The front sight is a Williams Streamlined Ramp with a Streamlined fiber optic front blade installed. There is a ton of heigth options to work with so you will need to do some home work to get the correct setup. I called Williams with some measurements they worked out the answer and sent me the set up.
I do not struggle in low light with this set up... and like I indicated before it sort of gives me a scope like picture with the open hood installed. I end up dropping the front sight on the animal - the hood provides a shooting circle - then align the sights works nifty for me.
Here is a picture of the front sight and I am sure you know what the TC rear sight is.
Hope some of this helps....
