Forget either of them, go for an SB (as wadashot says, though I'd say go kraut if you can afford it) and you won't go back. Two stalking buddies of mine bought an SB after looking through mine and trying it on a stalk and on the range (one changed from Nikkon the other from Leupold) and a third is considering changing from a Zeiss to one. My only experience of Leupolds is buying one only for the illuminated reticle to fail on first use, then the repair to fail, then the whole reticle moved on about the tenth shot I made. They have loads of nice features, like screw in lense protectors and all that, but don't seem well put together. I got fed up and changed it for the Schmidt at much extra cost and haven't regretted it. Sometimes you get what you pay for.
