I come from stock that put faith in $50 scopes; I wouldn't think to shit on a modern optic since even the Chinese can make glass that theoretically works, but if your selling point is "just as good as the rest if it doesn't break and if it does you get a new one" then I'd lean into spending twice/thrice the amount on something that's guaranteed to be good out of the box even after the mailman plays hacky-sack with it.
If there is one thing I despise more than zeroing scopes it's sending shit back for warranty work or replacement, and this combines those two.
