On the question of overall optical quality I would agree. I have the 4.5-14x44 MC sidewheel mildot Zeiss, having owned and enjoyed the Burris and the MTC, the MTC definitely being great value for money, but the Zeiss is the 'next level', at least to my eyes - but it is twice the price of the MTC.

Imported mine came to £400 total: it is light (good) but not flimsy, and everything about it is 'tight', precision engineering. Still want to get it reparalaxed down a bit (it's set @30yds, not too bad for HFT) which is 'under discussion' elsewhere.

Yes, £400 is not cheap, and no, you don't have to have a scope of this quality, but I don't think I could ever go back to the mid range after looking through glass this good.
