Any general input on the difference between these scopes?

Specifically looking for low light performance? Is it any different?
 
Also are reticles still the same or are they different?  Wire or etched?
 
Thanks

4x zoom instead of the 3x better eye box with more relief, small stuff really that adds up to an improved scope.

Wire reticles in both. The New Nikon is a better scope hands down.

more eye relief in the new ones?  i thought the old ones had 3.9-3.8 in the 3.5-10x50 i was looking at and the new had 4" .  let me know if i am mistaken

also i thought the UCC's had etched reticles but maybe that was only in the illuminated model?
 
thanks for the feedback on the feature differences good stuff to know.
 
what about optics wise? is there a difference and how big is the difference?  thanks
