Usually that extra 5% of performance is what costs the extra $$ when manufacturing any product.
Some people are happy without the extra performance when it comes to a cost benefit/budget constraint. Others will pay the extra for that little bit additional performance.
However at the end of the Day I have found that it really comes down to personal preferences and experience with both EP's and scopes with your own eyes and location/targets.
One person will prefer the Nagler 31 and another will prefer the ES or Pentax etc etc etc.
I try to make purchasing decision after I have compared things with my own eyes :-)
