If you have been living on Bushnell for your whole life Vortex would be like looking at heaven! Since I own top glass I would suggest buying used top 3 glass first choice and Vortex next. I have a friend that has Vortex and he really likes them. I would agree they are pretty good and if I did not already have the top stuff I would probably be happy with them. It is just that once you get that discriminate eye down with the top glass it makes it so much easier to see a part of a animal at dawn/dusk or movement in the shade or something/shape that looks out of place. The color separation and clarity across the whole viewing field is better in the top glass so it is easier. Can't explain it any better than that, I surprise people with what I find glassing but it is not me, mostly the glass! I have never looked back since buying the top glass.
