Apples to oranges:
Browe BTO is 16.7 oz with mount and the non-LED ACOG 4x32 BAC TA31H (MSRP $1502.00) is 9.9 OZ without mount. The mount is included in the MSRP price.
When I bought mine, I emailed the company and the owner, Brian Browe, emailed me back. I was asking about a sale because I had missed one. He sent me a link to a reinstated sale based on my inquiry. After I received it and shot with it, I wanted one for my 5.56. I emailed again asking when there was going to be another sale. Brian emailed me back and honored the sale price again. I purchased both for under $900 each.
I have a friend who has a BTO. He was having battery issues (battery cap spring wasn't doing it's job) and sent it back for a free battery cap upgrade. When he received it back, it had a LaRue mount on it.

My ta31 w/geissele mount feels like it weighs substantially less than my BCO. I've never put them on a scale, though. Not quite the boat anchor as the specter DR, but the Browe is heavy. I prefer it to the ACOG, but I wouldn't want it on something Id have to hump around.
