When you can get a Meopta Meopro from Cameraland for less than both Leupold models and has a LOT better glass why would anyone even consider a Leupold?

I have either owned or own a Bushnell 4200 & 6500, VX-2, VX-3, VX-R, Meopro, VX-6, Nightforce and Z6i.
IMO, the Meopta Meopro(3-9x40 BDC) is by far and wide the best value and likely the only scope I will buy again going forward.
I am no expert, but for me its optics quality at dusk alone make it worth the extra ~$100 and 2oz's of weight. Nor did I find my 40mm Meopta to be any bulkier than my Leupolds.
Having said all that, the VX3 is a very good hunting scope and found it to have better glass, mainly in misty or raining conditions, than my VX2.
Just my 2 cents, hope that helps.
Kindest regards.
