I've got a Baush & Lomb 3000 and a Bushnell 3200. Both are 3-9x40 and I can't see a damn bit of difference. Eye relief on both sucks. My Weaver classic's and Nikon pro staffs are optically sharper than either. I still like my Leupolds better than any of those because of the longer eye relief and more forgiving eye box. Though the adjustments are more positive on the Weavers, Bushnells and Nikons. All hold zero just fine but I sight them in and leave them alone. I have no need to twist turrets as I'm not a long range target shooter and seldom get a shot opportunity at anything beyond 300 yards due to limitations of the terrain where I hunt.
