I have a Minox that beats my Zeiss conquest, to my eyes. The Zeiss is a better scope, overall, but the Minox has good glass. I really feel my Sightron big sky 6x42 is at least as bright, if not brighter. I'd take a truck load of those big sky scopes. I've hunted a Meopta on a borrowed rig, and thought it was as bright as the others. It may have been 'brighter', but after a certain point, it's splitting hairs to me. Any of those will get more light/shooting time than your eyes can probably use.
