When you get to the 18+ mag range, you better be paying beyond $1,000, and that isn't a guarantee. Value scopes trend to REALLY show their optical weaknesses when going that high.
"Really good" is always better than "just OK", no argument there.

However, my Mueller 8-32 x 44 scope priced at about two hundred and fifty bucks is better than you might think. I have it mounted on my .223 fun gun, but if the Sightron III on my .223 F/TR gun ever shoots craps, I'd slap that Mueller on and go to the next match without any worries. If the choice is a $1500 scope or no scope at all because someone only has a few hundred bucks to spend on glass, the Mueller is a reasonable solution. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
