The only reason that you might need one with an Eotech is if it would be more comfortable to look through if it was a little higher.

go to larue tactical's site and look at the pics regarding their QD Eotech mount. Their mount places the front sight in the bottom 1/3 of the EO window. This makes it so the front sight doesn't cover up as much of your viewing field.

If you have a flip front sight then having a riser isn't really needed unless you plan on using the BUIS all the time.

GG&G also makes a EO base that is quick-detach but doesn't change the height of the EO.

If you want a repeatable zero QD mount LaRue is the answer.
