I do not own either of the scopes you have mentioned, and the reason is about 95% of the people that have owned them have nothing good to say about them. If you want the "little gold stripe" on your gun pay the extra money and jump up to a II or a III, if money is a concern try the Aetec by simmons, IMO they are the best scope for the money!!! ~$120 on Ebay or $140 from a local shop.
