Red dot on DR?

A scoped DR has advantages as most of us, or at least I , can shoot more accurately with a scope than with iron sights.
BUT IMHO it also has huge disadvantages:
1. the scope changes the balance of the rifle considerably.
2. limited field of view
3. you can not get it off quick enough when you need to (even with a QR mount), at least I don't.
but the biggest disadvantage for me is that the line of sight is so much higher, meaning the position of the head is completely different and I fell like a giraffe!
It seems to screw up the way I mount the gun.

So I thought it might be an elegant solution to put a red dot reflex sight on it, probably a DocterSight:

In Germany many use them for driven boar and I think it would be a way to work around the disadvantages of a scope.

Has any of you any experience with a red dot mounted low onto a DR, or what do you think in general of this idea?
