Try doing a search over at opticstalk.com. There should be quite a few opinions on both.
I hate it when I ask a question about product "A" versus "B" and someone goes and recommends product "C", but I am going to do it anyway, only because there is limited time to act. Consider looking at a Vortex Viper 2-7x32. For not much longer you can pick up one of these for around $170. Apparently Vortex is discontinuing the 2-7 Viper (but not the Viper line). The glass and build of the Viper compares favorably to the Nikon Monarch and Bushnell 4200 lines, meaning a significant step up from what you are considering, and for less money.
Not affiliated or anything. In fact, I picked up a 2-7 just before they slashed the prices. Bummed about not waiting a few months, but am very happy with the scope.

Of the two you mention, I have a Nikon Omega. Great Scope, great glass, great warranty, great eye relief (which is very important with muzzleloaders), and so far tough as nails.
I also like other scopes, but you can't go wrong with a Nikon.

i say the burris. i have many and like them all. one piece construction and lifetime warranty. I don't like the nikons, the field of view is narrow due to the long eye relief. also don't like the nikon bdc circles, burris has had that technology for years and they even give you a chart for different loads for their ballistic plex.
