The difference is significant, with the 3-9 being noticeably more visible during the last few minutes of legal light. I would rather use a fixed x scope, and surely would if it came with a .07 mil reticle, but as it is, I will use the 3-9 until it fails me.

Wanted to add that my complaint about the subtensions is purely with losing the tic marks in low light. Not uncommon to not see the deer here until last light, and then at 300-400 yards against the dark mesquites. The hash marks are getting a little hard to see in those instances and the wind here often necessitates some hold off which, of course makes seeing the hash marks a good thing.

At relatively close range, the fat post allow you to bracket your target. Got this 'yote in the headlights the other night at about 130 yards with the 3-9 SS. All I could really see was the light outline of the 'yote which I bracketed between the post. Was shooting my 22-250 barrel and no hold off was required.
