Anyone have any experience with the 1 moa SRO? Is the dot easy enough to find? Do you need to crank the brightness up to be able to pick it up quickly? 

Assuming you're putting it on a handgun, get the 5moa version. 1moa is more suited to a long gun. 

A larger dot is more visible at lower brightness which leads to less starburst effect or glare.

Also consider practical accuracy. 1moa is ¼ inch at 25 yards. What's your group size at 25 yards? 5moa is 1¼ inches. I'll bet that is still a good deal more precise than your shooting ability. 

On my USPSA match gun, I run a 10moa c-more. It works great, even for tricky shots at distance.
