I haven't used the 4.5-14 model but I have used Meopta and find them to be the best value. In fact, I am slowly replacing all my Leupolds (VX2, VX3 & VX6) with Meopta's.
I can't comment on the feel of the turrets as I used the BDC reticles but the build quality is great. Like crittergetter, I have been very impressed with low light resolution and in wet/foggy conditions.
Hope that helps.
Kindest regards.
