I went with the cameraland deal for the Conquest 4.5-14X50 it just went on my 270WSM today however it's just there for load work while the 3.5-10x44 goes in for an elevation turret. After that it'll live on a 22 for plinking off the bench while the other guns cool down.
The 30yd side focus is great mine goes down to about 27yds which could just be my laser as I didn't roll a tape out, the #20 plex is a little finer than the Conquest 3-9X40 both are an advantage for a paper puncher. The only minus for me is the eye box is more critical however it isn't a problem when testing in my sitting/kneeling/standing positions.
I haven't tried the leupold as I really prefer the constant eye relief through the magnification range the conquest scopes have offered. But I'm sure they are a great scope. I'm pretty well sold on the conquest line. Wish they were a little lighter though.
With those two choices you really can't go wrong.
