I had a razor HD for about six years. The price was right (I got it for $950 USD brand new when the dollar was at par) and the reviews online made it sound like it was nearly as good as swaro for a fraction of the price. Compared to the viper I had previously it was very good.
In 2017 I went hunting with a buddy who had a swaro and we used them side by side. With mine I could count points, with his I could see the texture on the antlers. The difference was significant to say the least.
I went home and sold the razor then bought a couple month old swaro off kijiji for $2300 with the eye piece, box, neoprene cover and original receipt that was indistinguishable from brand new.
If you’ve got the budget for alpha glass you can knock vortex off the list because they don’t compare.
