Thoughts on Athlon Midas BTR GEN2 1-6x?

[PisgahPlinker]

A forum sponsor NY Camera Land has some decent deals on Athlon optics. Truthfully I've not heard much about them and there isnt much out there in terms of reivews for the Midas line, 1-6x specifically. Is anyone running this LPVO? I understand it is Chinese made, I'm just curious if it's worth the price increase over a more budget Chinese model such as a Burris RT-6 or Strike Eagle. If there differences are negligible, I'll get a $379 Strike Eagle with mount from PSA.

Or should I forget all the Chinese stuff and keep saving my pennies for a Delta Stryker?

The Burris RT-6 is not Chinese, it's made in the Philippines

My mistake, the question remains. Is the Athlon it a substantive upgrade over a "base model" LPVO such as the Burris RT-6, Strike Eagle, Sig Tango MSR, etc.? If you have hands on experience with it I would love to hear your thoughts
