Yeah I see your point Daniel. Australian dollar impact has also significantly effect the price here too. The dollar is strong against Taiwan currency but has remained relatively static against the Yen. That means while something like your vixen will cost the same as last year, the cost of the Taiwanese product will drop a lot in price. It might also be part of their marketing strategy when they can produce scopes at high levels but maybe not the enth degree that other companies attain and at an affordable price. Cost of labour is likely to be quite different too.
I will ask about stats and see how far that gets me. It would help their marketing though for the descerning customer.
I wonder which scopes you are referring about (re resolution), are you referring to the vixen you own? Not seen many vixen images that rival the GSO RC images. My point being here that this is a matter of opinion. Not everyones opinion will be the same. Bang for buck though you cannot go wrong with the RC8. Skill of the user and processing will also affect the end result.
I will do my best to give you a good review. You will either like the review or you will not.
