Looking to upgrade the spotter and need a little help. I would like to stay close to $1500 but if the difference is that great would consider more. I know a lot of people really like the vortex, but I have never been fond of their scopes. Am I missing out with their Spotters?

Is the Viper HD all it is cracked up to be?
If you had to pick between an 80mm objective in the Vortex and 60mm in the Swarovski....which one would you take? I really don't want to dump 3K on a 80mm sworovski.....even though that would be the ultimate.
This will not be a pack spotter so weight is not a problem. I want clear class.
Anyone looking to sell a nice one? I have cash or may even be able to part with a nice rifle in trade?
