Like Rob was alluding to, Vortex will cover the variable optic/multi-gun market at 3 levels.
$450 Strike Eagle 1-8x (entry level)
$700 PST GenII 1-6x (mid level)
$1200 Razor GenIII 1-8x (upper level)
If you look at the way they're positioned, they compliment each other and do not eat each others' lunch. The people that buy at theses price points might not buy at the other 2.
Note that the PST's magnification is only 1-6x. Even if the improvement in glass on the Razor gen3 is incremental, that last 2x separates the Razor from the PST 1-6x
As I've said before, Vortex's strong suit is not their ability to make optics. It's their ability to read, anticipate, and respond to the market they're in.
Very impressive leadership and insight.
