When trying to get the most for the least, you're better off if you think of buying used. I'd rather have my 20+ year old fixed Leupold 25X than both of the scopes you mention and you can find similar Leupolds for $250ish if you look........
Yes.
And then save your money and buy a Leica, Swaro, or Zeiss.
If it takes you three years to scrape the coin together to get a good scope, you won't regret it. I'd sell my house before I'd sell my spotter.
