RDFinn,
I did that, too. In fact I purchased two 4-16X 4200's and three 2 1/2-16X 6500's. I sold all the 2 1/2-16X's. They are just not as good as the 4200's. While we're at it I also had a Leupold VX-3 4 1/2-14X50 I sold because it fell behind the 4200's.
But as far as comparing scopes, I have to compare what comes my way. The two above came my way so they are what I compared and posted about. To me this is good info for folks who might have a chance to pick up a used 4200 in good shape.
The fellow who brought the 4200 took off a Vortex 6-16X to install the 4200. I have yet to see a Vortex I would buy.
