I don't disagree and if classing by price range I pretty much look at it like this:

Low $200-$800
Medium $900-$1500
High end Med to low end high $1600-$2200
High $2300+

Basically everything priced in the High range only has minute differences in operation/features or is a fraction of a percentage better than many of the scopes in the low-high price range.

I put the Vortex Gen II Razor in the Low end of the high Range, but I believe you get the most bang for your buck from the Vortex. Not to mention with their warranty it's a lifetime investment!

I'd say the Bushnell's rule the medium range and from what I've seen PA and SWFA fight it out in the low range. All the ultra low end scopes aren't worth the time spent earning my paycheck that I would spend on them.
