There must be some variation between Telrads. Mine goes from invisibly dim under dark skies to visible-in-daylight bright. If you know a little electronics it's easy to fix yours so it's not so bright (if you don't give it to someone who does). I agree with you on the size, it's ridiculous.

The red dot does not quite do it for me. I much prefer the circles around the object rather than a single dot on top of it. The circles are also easy to relate to chart, 8x50 finder, and low-power EP views.
