Rifle Scopes Brownels mpo 1-8 $552 deal or no?

A good-quality Japanese-made scope with a decent cantilever mount for $499.00 sounds like a pretty solid deal if you like their reticle choices.
 
Ehh... eh... so very close to clicking the button. Decided to go home and measure some things first. Last thing I need is another scope on the pile.
 
I've got the 1-8 and if you're ok with SFP, it's been a good scope for me. I like the capped turrets and the reticle is useable for precision. Wish it was a little lighter, but it was not $1,500 like my PLXc. The illumination isn't insanely bright, but again it's a sub $600 scope and I don't need illumination on the SFP.

I've used it to ring steel out to 600 when it was on my 13.9" 556 and wasn't held back at all
 
Signed up to get another 10% off to help save on tax. Hoping it works well as it’s going on a range/back up DMR style rifle.
 
Oh, a myriad of issues. Poor customer service, very high prices (even with their dealer discount), and the change in their forever satisfaction guarantee. I bought a scope right before they changed the return policy. I decided that I didn't care for it, and they wouldn't honor the old policy even though I purchased it under that policy.

What's the new policy?

Used to be if returned within 30 I think they just gave you a refund, then anything after that you got credit, but it was lifetime.

No more?

As far as very high prices, compared to whom? Seriously.
