When I looked at the two Conquest scopes I looked from 4.5 power up to 10.  Even at 3.5  pwr (44mm) vs 4.5 pwr (50mm) the larger objective came out the brightest. 
 
You know, a good choice for you that has a wide power range may be the Bushnell Elite 6500.  The down side AFAIK, there are only two choices for reticles, mil-dot and duples.  But with a 2.5-16 range, thats pretty darn good and I haven't heard anything bad about them.  C/S is unknown to me.

It is good that Leupold finally did something besides releasing more cheap products to reinforce brand loyalty of their customers.  The Zeiss Conquest came in to Leupold's captive market with a better product for the about same money and hurt Leupold.
 
You can only harvest (milk) a premium product for so long before your customer base starts to go away.  Leupold customer's should have high expections given the cost of a VX-III/VX-3 market level scope.  It only took 6 years but it appears that Leupold finally got the message and responded with a quantum performance leap with the VX-3 line.  It is about time, they had milked the VX-III for too long.

I hadn't considered the VX3 a "quantum leap from the VXIII".  I thought the difference was minimal.  I guess I should do more comparison to confirm my initial thought.

I don't have a VXIII to compare it to but its defnitely brighter and clearer than a VARI-X-III which I believe was the first scope to have the "wide" gold ring.  The VX-I/VX-II have gold rings too but they appear narrower than the VARI-X-III, VX-III and VX-3.

I agree with that.  The VXIII WAS a quantum leap from the Vari-X III IMHO.
