Default 1" vs. 30mm scope

I'm contemplating a new scope and am leaning towards a 4.5 X 14 VARXIII for a longrange big game rifle. I've looked at the more expensive swarovski 1" scopes but can't see a difference on a resolution chart at the store. Leupolds have never let me down and appear to gather more than enough light to shoot till legal hunting time. Is there any real benefit to getting the swarovski 1" or even moving up to the 30 mm scopes? To move up to a 30mm swarovski is more than triple the cost of a good old VARXIII. How about the LPS scopes which are 30mm? Anyone been down this road? I love swarovski binoculars--they have been worth every hard earned penny. With legal shooting light limitations, what is the benefit?
