Rifle Scopes USO SN-4 1.5-6 or Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1-6?

I have a USO 1.5-6. I like it a lot. I ordered it, and it's set up just exactly how I want it. Unfortunately, I just bought a Vortex 1-4 for another rifle and absolutely love the true 1X for up close. Now I'm wondering if I should trade the USO for a Razor HD 1-6.

The scope sits on an AR in 5.56. I use it for everything from 3 gun and tactical rifle matches to a back up for one of our local long range matches.

I can probably move to the Vortex for a net cost of zero, plus or minus $100. Basically free.

If someone laid both in front of you and gave you your choice, which would you pick?

BTW, the USO has the digital illumination control, EREK elevation with large numbers, US#1 windage and the internal level. Retail price was $1,765.

Vortex 1-6 easy answer, except I would want the USO reticle options, so not such an easy answer. I really wish there were PST or XLR reticles in the 1-6 Razor. The red dot is definitely daylight readable though on the Vortex.

I have the USO 1.5-6 dual focal plane: segmented circle is SFP and mil scale is FFP. Fully badass and I'm really really happy with it.

Plus I wouldn't bother with an erek on a 1.5-6, I went slimline mil adjustments.

I already own this scope and dial for elevation all the time. That's why I chose it.

What about the USO SR8? It has a true 1x

An excellent choice, I'm sure. It's real money, though. Maybe the best answer is to save my allowance for that.

Edit to add that I went back and checked on the price of the 1-8. The non red dot is not much more expensive than my current SN-4. I think I'll save my pennies and switch to the 1-8. Too bad it's not available in MOA. That's my only regret.
