Default Flipping a Sight from RH to LH...good/bad?

So, I'm making the switch to LH, and I'm contemplating what I'm going to do about a sight. I currently have a RH CJ Comp (dovetail), and I really do like this sight, and to save some money, I could just flip the sight 180degrees and use it as a left hand sight. The bubble level would now sit on top of the sight housing, and all of my knobs/scales would be reversed, but it WOULD work, correct? Is this just cheap-o way of doing things and should I just get a new $150 sight (would love to save that money if at all possible), or is this fine. I hear mention of people doing this on sights over on AT, so I know it's done, but not whether or not it's recommended. The big thing, is I like my sight, I would rather not pay the $150-$175 for a new one, but if it's really the best thing to do I suppose I'll just suck it up and do it. So...thoughts?
