Tried one and didn't like it. When I compared next to my Burris 135 it has a 35 mm diameter lens compared to the vortex 30 mm lens the Burris was noticeable brighter. You can get the burris for a little more than the vortex on ebay.

By brighter are you talking about low light conditions or overall?

Well I think it was about noon when I was comparing them, but the burris was optically better than the vortex. Vortex had a nice round dot either red or green and was not bad, but to me the burris was better. With the 35 mm you had a better field of view too.
