Quote: I don't like where the battery and controls for the reticle illumination are placed.
A scope series with steel, one inch tube, would catch my interest.
I agree, although it looks a little less obtrusive than the Swarovski Z6i illumination unit! An illuminated 1in tube top-of-the range series by Zeiss/Swaro/Leica/etc is missing IMHO but I would take aluminium over steel any day!
