You've mentioned two LPVOs and an MPVO in the same sentence. Oh, geez. Well, I'll say this ... any decent 2-10x is going to far outperform any 1-10x at higher magnifications. The 2-10 will do everything better than a 1-10, except use within 25 yards or so.
It depends on what you need. If you dont need a 1x, or are willing to cover that with an offset or piggyback, then go with a 2-10x. The Mark 5 is nice, but it seemed to me that they focused on size as much as they did everything else and there are sacrifices due to that. As a total package, I like the Mark 5, but from a purely shooting perspective, I prefer my 2.5-10 Mark 4. Larger objective, more forgiving eye box.

USO FDN + piggy back RDS. I wish that USO would update their 10x reticles, but the gap reticle is alright for a 10x on a carbine. I like my FDNs.

Correct, at team sniper matches you’ll be living in the 8-10x range the majority of the time. The razor’s eyebox suck at that mag range. Normally see the mk5 2-10, trijicon credo, and NF NXS 2.5-10 SFP(people leave at 10x). The ZCO will have a huge following soon and expect the new mk5 reticle to be right behind for the rest.
The razor 1-10 is a great optic and a good fit for 3gun, qualified performance, etc. just not the best option for the team matches.
You will have to use Google Translate but I wrote a bit about my experience with the Vortex Razor G3 and a Delta Stryker here:

For the shooting I do, I will be keeping my Razor for a long time to come.

You have to remember that even the best and most expensive LPVO is just one big compromise.
The best tool for 1x is a red dot. The best tool for mid range (100-300) is an ACOG or other 4x optic. The best tool for long range is something with a large objective to allow for enough exit pupil to accommodate the magnification. An LPVO is kind of like the cresent wrench of the optics world.
If you need a 1X, I think the Razor is probably the best bang for the buck for gaming. Running and gunning with a 2-10 using a piggy back or offset is not the same as using an LPVO, even with an offset or piggy back. The added bulk and weight slow me down.
You need to decide in what area your rig needs to excell. There is no such thing as a do it all rig. You've gotta give up something in one area to have what you need in another.

I have the FX10 with H425 reticle and like it a good bit.
