Gets back to what system you have, my 6" is mounted much higher than most to reduce contortions to begin with IE no need for a riser.
Erik, I'll show you the Mars-eye next time I see you.
I'm not impressed with the Burgess reticle assortment, most are too busy. But it is a very compact unit. I got mine before the astro-community discovered it. More rugged than the typical plastic red-dot finder, for sure.
I nearly forgot the Rigel Systems Quickfinder, which I also use. It has the advantage of being tall by design so no riser is needed, it's oriented vertically. It's also much smaller than the Telrad.
I bought the flashing circuit for my Telrad and it made it much easier to locate dim targets. Even on it's dimmest setting, sometimes the non-flashing Telrad is too bright.

The Burgess is the best I have found, easiest to locate reticle and you can chose different reticle designs.
