Scope decision...

Do you have trouble seeing the reticle in low light?
Really low light past legal shooting hours here is when I start having trouble with the reticle. It took me a while to realize that by the time I have trouble with the reticle that I am way outside legal hours in Georgia. 1/2 hour before official sunrise -1/2 hour after official sunset is legal. I'm usually in well before and after to try and conceal my presence from the deer. The light transmission is so good on the lenses that you're gonna lose one or the other eventually. Seems the reticle gets lost in the background eventually but hey we're not talking about night vision optics here, were talking about a great scope at a reasonable price.

^ This is where the illuminated dot on the crosshairs of the Weaver really comes in handy.

I ended up with the Bushnell Elite 4200. I tried a bunch in low light. It only costed me $200 too so that was a bonus. Thanks for everyones input.
