I opted for a Z3 3-10 over a VX3 or VX6 myself.

The marketing says the VX6 has "Quantum Optical System w/Xtended Twilight System: Carefully selected and ground lead-free lenses, featuring Xtended Twilight coatings, are precisely positioned in optimum relationship to each other to produce the highest level of light transmission and optical clarity.", a 30mm tube, newer adjustments, and a faster adjustable eye focus. The Luepolds do come with a CDS dial free, which sound great, but I'd never use them (there is value ($) in them though) and a free gift right now like a boresighter. Net-net: a really good deal.

Priced almost the same, the 2-12 VX6 is about 5oz heavier than the Z3 - so I opted for lighter weight and thought the Z3 was more clear. I could not try the VX6 1x6x24 which may have been a keeper although I wanted the mag on the higher end myself, an I'm very happy with the Z3.
