So why are you still undecided? You already said that the FF2 is optically clearer than the VXII.

Look at the features you get with each...............

Burris optics are fully multi coated the VXI and VXII are not.

Burris uses a one piece main tube Leupold uses a two piece tube on the VXI and VXII.

Burris FF-II transmits almost 10% more light than the VXII and more than 10% than the VXI.

Burris FF2 and the VXII both use steel on steel click adjustments the VXI does not.

Both companies have lifetime waranties on their scopes.

A Burris FF2 costs only $180 while a VXI costs about $220 and a VXII costs $300.

Seems like the obvious winner is the Burris.
