I have not had the opportunity to put my hands on a V4 yet. I'm not sure how they compare but but I own 2 Conquest DL's which I like a lot. I did recently look through both the SHV and VX5HD side by side in a shooting store and to me the SHV was the clear winner except for the weight. The SHV was a TANK imo but glass and overall field of view I liked better. I think the VX5HD may have had a tad better eye relief. I'm not sure how to explain it but the SHV just seemed to have a larger sight picture and the edges were very well defined and clear with no blur. The edges on the Leupold were not as clear (which to me) would distort the sight picture at first or last shooting light. BTW I was comparing a 3-15x56 VX5HD to a 4-14X56 SHV.
Awesome...thank you.
