VCOG vs. Elcan Specter 1-4x
So, for my general purpose, SHTF, jack of all trades rifle, I'm looking into variable optic. I know that LVPOs appear to be the new wave thing, but what's the thought on the Elcan these days? Is it going the way of the dinosaur, or is there still a place for it for general purpose roles? For LVPOs, I'm leaning towards the VCOG as it seems to be the most robust, and the 700 hour battery is better than most of the LVPOs in its class, though the Kahles K16i is tempting too (though the battery life is not comparable to the Trijicon).
How does the Specter compare to the VCOG (or the Kahles) in terms of use at 1x CQB and/or mid-range? I know the 6x of LVPO gives you the ability to reach out a little more, but I also like the simplicity of just switching between 1 and 4 without having to think about adjusting and fine tuning and such. I dunno. Thoughts?

What are the Razors going for? According to the Vortex site, it's MSRP is about the same as the Kahles at $1999. I figure for the same price, I'd go with the K16i. Are the Razors usually going for less?
1-6 Razors are usually around the $1,200 range and are always popping up on the ARFCOM EE. Personally, I’d go Gen II-E with MRAD reticle or the Gen III 1-10 if you’re patient and up for paying around $2k for just the scope.
Have had both the 1-6 and 1-10, just ended up selling to fund some other stuff while I could find it in stock but I fully intend on buying both again down the road. I used the Badger C1 in 1.7 height with both and it was the perfect height, I don’t know why anyone even tried LPVOs in the 1.5 height. I also added the offset RDS just to try it out. Aside from the Khales, the razor is probably the closest to an RDS on 1x but I figured I’d give it a shot and liked it quite a bit. The only downside there was the extra bulk of the rifle but Badger is releasing a top mount soon so that would have been next on my list to try. I just ended up buying a KAC can instead.
