There’s a plethora of great dovetail mount options in the $400-500 range. It seems like that kind of drops off a cliff though the closer you get to $200. Every once in a while you can find a used AKA2 for sale, but I feel like there has to be a readily available option in the $200 and under category right? (Without going the airsoft route, which I refuse to do). Am I missing some good options in that $200 price range? I’d prefer a FTO mount as well, but I realize beggars can’t be choosers.
 
Not at all, just slide it all the way forward. The dovetail is also adjustable for wear/fit. If you really don't want to slide the unit forward, you can look for one of the mounts that have the cutout or make a U cut on the plate that covers the latch with a Dremel. I actually like the fact the latch is covered, it protects the lever from accidental disconnects.

I have a g11 for $265. Like new

From what I can see in your listing, I believe that’s the bayonet mount and not a dovetail.
 
It's not FTO, but you can find the Norotos TATM in dovetail for pretty cheap, pair that with the Norotos universal shroud adapter and you're in the sub $200 range. It's what I use as my back up mount.
