I might be missing something, what is the advantage of the gold (brass) dot front sight used by DW on their TCP and ECP 1911 Commanders? The only thing that I can think of is that it might be more durable than other types and will not fade out after many years. I cannot see the gold dot as well as fiber optic or optical ring around night sight. Should I change it out or get used to it?

I would mail you 50 of them, but the cost of sending them is more than they cost to go buy yourself.
Gold wire would work too, and you could just hit the sight with a torch and press the gold into the hole and it would melt right in. Would arguably be a much better fit, but would not be easy to dome like mine.
