Bayou- you sound exactly like me if we rewind the clock some years. I remember being at BP back then looking at a Vx1 and 2 equivalents though current models are improved. Did not see, so did not understand, the difference and bought the VX1. I ended up regretting it. Simple rule of optics is to buy the best you can afford. It tends to be worth it......at least up to a point of reason.

BTW - just search on VX2 here and other optics forums. You will find overwhelming praise for the value these scopes provide from people who have used a lot of different scopes. Well worth it in my book.
