If you want a good 1-4x, I would get the Vortex Viper PST 1-4x if you go with Vortex. Also, how beneficial has the bright fiber-optic reticle been for you with Trijicon? What is the application, and what blaster will it be going on? If you need the 1-4x to use on 1x for close quarter (house or dangerous game hunt), and 2-4x for 50m-400m work, there are a lot of good 1-4x scopes coming out. If you're in the market for the Vortex Razor HD 1-4 price range, you can get a good 1-6x scope from either GRSC, or Swarovski in the non-illuminated Z6. To get illumination with the Z6i, you step up to around $1800, but they are the top-notch dangerous game and 3-gun scopes right now, hands down. The glass is truly amazing, not hype. I really enjoy playing with other people's Z6i's, but just can't fork out the cash for one since I have two 1-4x's already, and am saving for a 3-12 or 4-16x56 for my long gun work.
I've read reviews and heard from a long-range buddy of mine that the Vortex 1-4x Razor HD has a tunneling effect, which was fixed with the Vortex Viper PST 1-4x, at less than half the price. I don't have any tunneling effect with the 2.5-10x44 Viper PST, and didn't see it on the 5-20x50 Razor HD, but I still have yet to touch a 1-4x Razor.
