If you actually calculate the time you waste by mounting a vortex, discovering the problem, sending (wasted) rounds down range, boxing it up, shipping, receiving, mounting, zeroing, testing tracking, etc, your time has to be worth damn-near nothing to even come close to making it worth it.
Maybe if you're retired, but if you're like me- working a full time job, running a hobby farm, trying not to suck at jui jitsu, etc- I just ain't got time for that.
I have enough troubleshooting between work and various farm equipment to not want range days to be another exercise in "let's waste an afternoon fixing some broken [bleep]".
That's an interesting perspective.
