Would you take a Z8i or the Meta if you had the chance? I've looked through the Z8i but haven't had the chance with the meta yet.

I haven't handled the Z8i but a quick look at the specs tells me they are way too long. I like a short scope especially on my short action.
The other thing that I assume will let it down in my eyes would be the turret. I don't imagine it is tactile and I wonder how plastic they use in the mechanisms
