I think optical quality can overcome more magnification in a lot of cases. I can definitely see much better and clearer with my 3-15x50 Premier than with my cousins 6-24x50 Vortex PST. I can see 6.5mm holes in a target @ 400+ with my Premier on 15x, but lose the holes @ 300 with the Vortex PST at any mag range.

This has been my experience also. I have not looked through a Vortex of any price I would have because the glass quality does not come close to a Leupold VX-6 4-24X52 or Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50. Optical quality is very important to me. The next scope I try will probably be a March 2 1/2-25X52. It will replace the Bushnell on my ultralight Weatherby Mark V six lug 6.5 Coyle.
