Zeiss has the best glass for scopes in that price range and Leupold is the best value for a mid range quality scope. My last purchase was a Vortex and so far I love it. When you get into the Kahles, Steiners and Schmidt and Benders, it's a whole new level. I've never owned a Swarovski but I've looked through a few and they are right there with Zeiss. I have some Leica Bino's and they are excellent. I also just bought an Athlon Ares spotting scope I'm pretty impressed with so far.
