Rifle Scopes Should I switch from a Aimpoint H1 to a SWFA 1-6HD? Why or Why not?

So like the title says I'm thinking about switching from my current Aimpoint H1 which is mounted on my Kac Mod-1 5.56, to a SWFA 1-6HD and would like to hear from people who have owned both or done the same. I use this rifle for CQB to 400 yards max. Thanks.
 
I actually went the opposite direction... I started with a Vortex 1-6 which was an awesome optic, ran a carbine course with it, swapped it for a T1, ran another carbine course and swapped that to a Comp M4S.... couldn't be happier with the M4S. It is obviously great for CQB, but with the 2MOA dot, I can make headshots on steel and paper out to 200 pretty easily, and have no prob making a connection on steel man sized targets out to 400. For anything further or requiring more precision, I have a couple nice bolt guns for that. I say stick with your H1.
