You'll get more light with a 50mm objective. The glass in the 2.5-10x44 seems about the same as the regular Viper...decent, clear, but not Zeiss. Of course, Zeiss will cost you more, and they have a 19% warranty-related return rate according to my buddy's experience as a European optics dealer in Northern Europe, so figure that in.
You also lose usable elevation travel as you go higher in magnification with the Viper PST's, so keep that in mind. If you're going to be shooting out to 1000yds and further, it might be time to look at some serious cash output.
