Never tried this model, but I do have the 5-25x56 and it is a fabulous scope.
Have switched from Nightforce to Schmidt and its the best thing I could have done.
I have used a Nightforce for a while and took some great shots with it, but the reticule annoyed me immensely being too fine. At night or low light you lose it very quickly and the illumination is just too much.
The Schmidt is just perfect. I dont know what you intend to use your scope for but I would guess the mag your after is a little too much for normal UK hunting situations above 20x but you can always turn it down.
Schmidt are the cream of the scopes available.
