Different Zeiss scope prices??

Mil-dots generally cost more because it takes more work for the monkey to place the dot on the stadia wires. Actually, it does cost more for the set-up but I'm not sure how they do it. It certainly isn't with monkeys though.
 
Two differences between the scopes.

5214309921 4.5-14X44 with a fine plex reticle
5214559943 4.5-14X50 with a mil-dot reticle

The price difference is due to the mildot, and the larger objective lens diameter. As the reticles on these scopes are etched, most of the price difference I would guess is in the larger objective
Take Care
 
With a lot of the name-brand scopes, larger objective lenses mean finer optics, so the price accelerates steeply.

It is assumed that if you want a larger objective, you want more clarity, contrast, etc., so the quality of the glass goes up as well as the size of the front lens.
