My bad, almost as good and just as good as other Japanese glass(Razors, Eotech and such).
Per your quotes:
I had them out all day for 2 days so i was able to see different lighting conditions. In cloudy overcast weather the difference between the two wasn't even that much at the magnifications I use.
When it got super bright my S&B looked a little better
I can't see CA in my S&B but can see a little with the arken when it was really bright.
Overall, I'm shocked how well this cheap optic performed. The turrets feel awesome, the eyebox is nice and the clarity looks just like japanese scopes that I've used including razors and an eotech 5-25 I had on the same rifle.
So does that mean it’s almost as good as Nightforce scopes as well.
