The concern I have with expensive optics is that they can (and do) fail/have issues. Optics are similar to iphones/computers, keep getting better and prices for the same features/quality keep going down. Older versions don't have a lot of value.
I would/did go the disposable optic route with Bushnell's DMRi/LRTSi. New, the average guy price is ~1300, special guy price is ~900. Nice features, good warranty, and good reports of tracking etc. Sure, the glass is not the best but it is good enough.
Premier is out of business now. Would not pay more than 1K for a used and functional scope.
