When younger brother compared side-by-side, he said the Vortex were easily comparable to the Swaro's and said he couldn't see any difference. In fact, younger brother said he was going to buy a pair of the Vortex (he doesn't actually own the Swarovski's, get borrowed them from work). Oldest brother said he got his on sale for under $300 (I don't remember how much he said but I'm pretty sure it was close to $200)

I compared both and couldn't see a difference so I'm now keeping my eyes open for a pair of the Vortex on sale.
You get what you pay for. Vortex are not in the same league as Swarovski or Leica for extended use when hunting
