Just had to draw the line somewhere. Testing 18 scopes was already a few more than I was hoping, and if I would've went south of $1500 it would have exploded. I was originally thinking I'd do a 2nd test focused on $500-1500, since there are so many in that space. Maybe even $700-1500. I was careful to design all of the tests so they were 100% repeatable, which will allow results from subsequent tests to be directly comparable back to this original set.
After this one taking 400+ hours ... I'm not sure I'm up for another one, but we'll see. If people think this is a helpful approach, I might end up doing it. I'd obvious include one or two SWFA scopes in that 2nd test.
