Best red dot for under $100?

I won a Swat Force red/green dot scope in a "best shot" competition. Didnt know much about it until I found it on Cheaper than dirt, it has alot of great ratings and I must agree, it is really good and cheap at $30 ![video]http://cdn1.cheaperthandirt.com/ctd_images/lgprod/SCP-009.jpg[/video]

I just sold my mueller red dot and was extremely happy with it, I just have nothing to put it on right now. It is right at $100. Here is the link I had it on:

I was honestly very happy with this, very accurate up to 100 yards, and you are looking at tight groups at 25 and 50 yards. I believe my 100 yard grouping was under 3". They are also easy to use, set up and hold zero very well. I dropped my AR and did did not crack and kept the zero.
 
I have several of the Primary arms red dots as well as an Aimpoint and I can tell you the Aimpoint is better but the Primary Arms are good for the money. I have one mounted on my Mossberg 930 SPX and it has held zero shooting slugs and buck shot around 200-250 rounds.The Primary arms has taken A LOT of abuse and hasn't failed me yet
 
Uhh, under $100, take a red sharpie and put a dot on your right eye contact lense or lense of your sunglasses.

Seriously save some more $$$ and get something that will last and perform.
 
I believe that the non magnified red dots are preferred because the the magnification causes your eyes/brain to need to adjust for a split second once you look into the sight. This slows the reflex sight aspect of the red dot.
That being said, I have had great luck with osprey 3x optics on a 556.
