I had a VX6 and have a VX5HD, there are some things I don't like about them (lack of MRAD, not fuesed on reticle choices) but as far a glass, turrets, FOV, illumination etc go the VX5hd is an exceptionally good scope.
I've not had much experience with the lower end scopes other than Mark 4 that I had which for the most part was fine, but being a 20year old design meant it was left wanting compared to some of the newer scopes.

HST specifically.

It also depends on what the end game is to too be fair.

For me it's in no particular order: optical clarity. Easy to set zero stop elevation. Light weight. Not fussed on reticle. MOA only. SFP.

As my rifles are hunting rifles only however some will use them for a bit of this and a bit of that.
