The Deltapoint costs almost twice the FFII. Is it worth the extra bucks? If you have used either of these, I would be interested in hearing the pros and cons.

I have the Burris FF II on two pistols and have had zero issues (2 yrs exp). Original battery on both, sharp dot and HOLDS A ZERO. No exp w/the Deltapoint.

Burris just introduced an updated version of the FastFire. It is of course called the "FastFire III" and has some neat revisions of the original design. I don't have any hands on with it so cannot offer an opinion.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Burris FastFire 3 offers upgraded features such as windage and elevation adjustments that don't require any special tools or additional gunsmithing. The Burris Fastfire-III 1x Reflex 3 MOA Red Dot Firearm Sight has a convenient power button with three levels of brightness, an automatic brightness setting and battery access on the top of the sight, making it easier to change the batteries.

I had a chance to play with a Deltapoint for an afternoon. It was mounted on a Sig Sauer 556 in .22lr. Probably one of the nicest holographic sights I've ever looked through. The dot was very crisp. I don't have any experience with the Burris so I can't really give you a fair comparison. Hope this helps.
Forgot to mention, depending on what you will be using the optic on, the Leupold Prismatic would be my choice over a hologaphic sight. It acts much like a holographic sight but if the batteries go dead you still have the reticle as back-up. It is a little more expensive than the Deltapoint, but it is probably what I will put on my AR when it is finished.
