They seem pretty slick.
Optic goes tits up or can't be used because of magnification at short range, just rotate the rifle and you're back in the game.
Faster than hitting a QD on a rail mount and easier on the scope because you're not dropping on the ground. At least unless their un-folding mechanism is over complicated, which I've seen before in BUIS.
I've played with exactly zero sets of them in person, but I wonder about something...
Are they still aligned with the bore or are they offset to one side? If they're offset, you've got to pay attention to your zero. I bumped into this getting my Trilux scope zeroed.
The objective is offset to the left, so your point of aim has to be the same offset and so does the zero. If you don't then your zeroed for exactly one distance and you're going to be off to one side at closer and to the other at longer.
As has been mentioned before, new-fangled optics are getting so darned reliable that back-up irons are nearly a cosmetic affectation.
