Are cheap magnifiers for Eotech HS any good?

BobFrappels

I'm looking for a magnifier to use with an Eotech 512 on an M&P15. What I really want to know is if any of the low cost "clones" and such are any good? For example, is the "G&P QD 4X Magnifier for EOTech with Flip-to-side" (which is about $370 less than the eotech model) advertised here a decent product or a cheap piece of junk. I'm not going to war, just plinking. Any advice/suggestions from people with experience would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have one by Mako. It seems to work good, but then again, I haven't used it in combat. The mount it came with is junk though.

The makos are pretty good for the price. My cousin bought a flip-to-side mount off of ebay for $40. Not sure if it was a knock off but it looked and was marked exactly like the real eotech mount.

Just get the EOTech magnifier. What's $400 for the best? AND it is a perfect match to the EOTech...

I'll Check out Burris. I prefer a flip to the side mount. It looks as if Burris will be selling those separately for another $50 or so.

What do you think of this:
Burris AR-Pivot 30mm Ring for Tripler

and this:
Burris AR-Tripler 30mm Tube 3x Magnifier
http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=618696

I'm asking about the product really, not the price or the vendor, although comments regarding that are welcome too.
