Is a 30mm diamiter better than a one inch diamiter?
That's the way I also understand. Light gathering is not better with the same objective size.The way I understand it, the only thing you gain from the 30mm tubes is you have more windage and elevation adjustment than you get with the 1 inch scopes. Other than that you don't gain anything else.

To get 6X zoom range, I think you need to go to 30 mm.
The terms 4X and 6X are not really proper, in this context. It would be more proper to state it in terms of power adjustability (zoom) RATIO, as in 4:1 or 6:1.
