No, but if you can get a good deal on one that is below, at, or near enough to the EXPS2-2, then I would skip the night vision. My BIL did and has an EXPS3.

There goes that extra space on your rail.

If you weren't adding the magnifier and going to stick with 1x and were concerned about space, I'd say stick with Eotech and get one with the transverse mounted battery like the EXPS2 or 3.

I also have a 6920 and stayed with just the iron sights for several months before getting an $45-$50 RDS. I had not used one before and didn't want to spend the money on a quality one without knowing if it was something I even liked looking through or not. After only a few trips to the range I began saving up for something. I like the idea of the ACOG, but was getting impatient and had enough for either an Aimpoint or EOTech and ended up going with an EXPS2-0. I like it and can see through it just fine.

Your intended use can help you decide and looking through them at a store also can. Maybe you find that you can't see one or the other very well. I wouldn't want to find that out after spending $400+, although there would probably be someone around here that would help you out and buy it from you if that did happen.
