I recently purchased a Vortex Sparc II, and the first thing I noticed is how much bigger the 2 MOA dot is on the lowest setting compared to my 2 MOA Aimpoint on low settings. One thing I really like about the Aimpoint is that I can turn the brightness down to obtain a much crisper dot for precision work. The Sparc on the other hand, even when turned down to the lowest setting, does not even come close to producing a nice small crisp dot. On higher settings the two look very similar, it's only the low settings where the differences appear.
Is this just the difference between a $200 and $500 optic, or is it possible that the Sparc is defective?
