I have found their costumer service to be excellant and personally will never again buy any other brand.
ALL that said, if you are happy with your vortex and they do what you need, kudos.
i would agree that they're probably better in low light and while i'm very much for buying hunting gear that is meant to last i have a tough time justifying the cost of glass that's almost 3x more than my vipers were. kudos accepted.
