What is the difference between Vortex Diamondback and Crossfire 2?

[prickett]

I'm looking for a sub $200 1-4x optic for my carbine. I think I've narrowed the search down to either the Vortex Diamondback or Crossfire 2. I don't know what the difference is or which would be better. Can anyone help me out?

TIA

Well, one is a 1-4, one is a 1.75-5, each has one common reticle and one reticle that the other does not have, and one is 10 bucks more expensive than the other. You can easily compare them on Vortex's site if you need more specific information.
