......For example, does anyone really want their 2.5 with a wide duplex reticle?....
With complete respect, I do want, and like, my 2.5x with a heavy duplex. In the deep woods of Northern New England, that heavy reticule is just excellent for picking out what I'm aiming at from twigs, branches, understory, etc. in the deep woods. Especially so in low light situations. Might not be PC, but give me the braille method anytime. It's fast and helps result in a sure outcome, if one is to be had.
