Yeah, you're observations are quite accurate.
I tried several scopes but when I put this one on the gun everything just "came together". The height for perfect eye alignment was there using low QD Warnes that I already had. The brightness and very forgiving eye box sold me on leaving this scope on this gun.
The German #4 and Fire Dot at 1X power makes for very fast target acquisition and steady aiming. The 6X and CDS should be perfect for longer shots.
The other scopes just didn't measure up to this one. The VX-3 1.75-6x36 would make a great backup scope or may end up on another rifle. That's a nice problem to have...
