I can see a 1MOA center will be better relatively to a 2-4 MOA dot that Aimpoint typically comes with. But at 600 meters, you are still looking at 6". Not exactly a precision shot(well its still twice as good as a 2MOA)...Hitting a 600m target on a non-magnified optic is going to be a difficult challenge anyway....

I totally agree. Personally I really like T1's. The reason why Aimpoint did not win the socom contract was because the MOA fell short. For you and I this isn't really a big issue, but I guess to the special operations community it was enough to favour the slightly heavier doughnut of death over the dot of destruction. I find I get a better sight picture with a T1, however because of the 65moa ring to 1moa dot, the holographic point seems faster for target acquisition.
I was saddened to see the T1's not getting the military exposure they deserve, as it is a brilliant optic. Considering how hard those guys run their gear, and the operational tempo they maintain, there were probably many other reasons to pick one over the other.
