Best as I can figure, the Tekoa is cheaper than the Torics because it's a 4x variable and lacks ED glass. So far, so good with mine, and I was very pleased with the view in the woods the other day in some pretty gloomy weather, right up until dark. It is pretty heavy for a 1" scope, and pretty large. Once I work up a suitably accurate load for the rifle it's on now, I'll check the tracking again just for grins, but as long as it stays put once adjusted, I'll be happy.
