Exactly my experience with the same problems and solutions. The GLx 2x ain't fancy or made in a friendly nation factory, but it's exactly the right solution for an all purpose AR.I dealt with this quandary myself. Tried LPVOs and dot/mags. I was set to purchase a baby ACOG until I realized they didn't have diopters and the reticle was fuzzy to me.
I ended up trying the PA GLx 2x prism in a Bobro high mount. Love it. Eye relief is insanely good and it's just the right amount of magnification for my purposes. - I'm a little hesitant to have a PA optic on one of my primary rifles, but it does the job better than anything else I've tried.
