At least the second won't be in 10 pieces when its 4 tires are on the ground. Are the ZCO really that much more high performance than the sb?

Raptor vs ???

Problem with any raptor analogy: if you gave me one, I'd sell it before I even cranked it. Give me a king ranch diesel or high country diesel.

IMHO, the pros for ZCO are:
(1) No tunneling - depending upon S&B model this isn't an issue
(2) Parallax is more forgiving
(3) Seems to be less resistant to glare/flare
(4) Clarity - this may vary depending on user
(5) FOV

Pros for S&B:
(1) Price - especially if buying used
(2) More ring options
(3) More power/magnification/focal plane options

Both are very good scopes, but neither is a Tangent LOL
