I kind of like their new metal Alpha sight. I haven't seen one yet, but it seems as though possibly there isn't the long fiber optic wrap with this one (does anyone know ?). In that case the new light stick might be the only way you could see the sight in sub par light. Doesn't bother me much since in December most of the deer I am after would be in regular light, but it would be an issue for most. More likely an issue that would cause folks not to buy it.
