It's not really fair to compare the two that way, the EOTech is a holographic sight while the Docter sight is a reflex sight. Considering that the lens area on the EOTech is likely 200-500% larger than the Docter sight, it's no surprise that it's easier to acquire the reticle on the larger sight.

And yes, I've used both back to back. Well, it wasn't a Docter sight, it was an Optima 2000 (now Jpoint), but same difference.
