The XPS2 has a much larger dot along with the hold-over dots and crosshair. This is great for CQB as a larger reticle is easier for the eye to pick up, however some feel that "there is too much going on" in EOTech sight pictures, which is why many opt for the T-1, or in this case, the SRS.
Be advised that the solar panel on the SRS does not charge the battery, not on mine, and not on any others according to everyone I know who uses one. However, the sight uses one AA battery , not a CR123A.
Despite impressions you may get from photos, both sights are approximately the same size with the SRS being slightly longer.
The replicas are hit and miss with shock proofing. Mine held its zero, but the recoulfrom my WE SCAR caused the sight to turn off and on periodically. I have been using on an AEG for some time now without issue. The EXPS2/XPS2 holds zero and functions flawlessly on both AEG and GBBR platforms with no kinks. Both the SRS and XPS2 I tested and use currently were purchased from Airsoft Store.
It's a superior sight in my opinion because of the small MOA reticle, field of view, and battery type.

Well put. I have the same findings.
Some airsoft EOTech replicas are plagued with excess reflection or ghosting. Clone SRS doesn't seem to have these issues.
Mounts would be the other thing - holosight replicas with thumbscrew mounts such as the Element XPS can sit oddly on off-spec rails. A buddy of mine who is currently borrowing my SRS replica noticed that the QD lever can be popped off accidentally when it hooks on his kit (he is a lefty). QD lever tensions up pretty good on most airsoft rails (e.g. King Arms Cybergun M4A1), though can be just barely loose enough to have some forward/backward play on other rails (e.g. WE M4A1).
