For that kind of money get a Ziess.
That was the best suggestion so far
Do some low light comparisions and I think you'll agree that Leupolds are over rated.
The new VX-III's are equal or maybe a tad better then the Nikon.. I think the NIkon has better w/E adjustments. The Leupold has a better eyebox.
You can order a mulitcolored Leupoldscope thru the custom shop
that would make my day
