I'll take a vx-1 over a 2 every day
If you're comparing similar scopes a good argument can be made that a VX-2 isn't worth the added cost. A current production VX-1 is essentially a VX-2 from several years ago. But then a current production VX-2 is basically a VX-3 from several years ago. But all things being equal a 50mm objective will cost about $100 more. If they are selling at the same price point the 50mm glass is cheaper and will negate any advantage over 40mm glass. In this case the VX-2 wins handily.
