XS/Troy sights for AR-15 Carbine?

Have any of you used the Troy folding battle sights with XS CSAT rear and tritium stripe front on an AR and if so, what is your opinion of them. I have a Leupold 4x on mine right now and I'm not really happy with it and I'm pretty sure I'm about to install a set of iron sights as my primary sight option and put the scope on something else. I could buy the Troy/XS folding set (front/rear) with the CSAT aperature on the rear and tritium stripe front for $280. Or, I could buy the front only and use it with my removable carry handle that Hargove sent me a while back. Or, I could buy the front and a CSAT aperature for the carry handle. Or, I could use the carry handle as is and buy a plain fixed (non folding) front sight and install a tritium striped or tritium dot XS front post to it. I really don't know that I need the CSAT rear, it's just kinda cool...big aperature for speed, and a little aperature for longer range with a square notch sight on top for very close like 7 yards. I would welcome any input. My rifle is a flattop carbine with a front rail on the gas block. I really don't need folding sights at all but whatever I get, I want tritium on the front and I want them rugged. Thanks,
