Using a microprism as a piggyback optic

Hi! I am setting up my first AR. I have pretty bad astigmatism, so red dots starburst and are useless beyond 10 to 15 yards. I have a PA SLx 1x Microprism that performed beautifully on my first range trip. My LPVO has since arrived (thanks UPS for losing the first one), and I was wondering if anyone else has tried mounting a microprism, rather than a red dot.

What mount would you recommend, as I would need its secondary interface to be as low as possible (since the sight is already so much larger than a red dot)?

I suppose I could do a 45-degree offset, but all of what I have seen/heard from guntubers and the like is that piggyback > offset.
