Scopes that live in the middle of $1000-$2000 have a tough life and now that you can get a Gen 2 Razor 3-18 for $1500 and 4.5-27 for $1800 (or less for the older reticles) their life just got a LOT tougher. Like them or not they are now setting a new quality standard at the $1500-$1800 price point. Everyone has budgets and we all want the best for our $, too often people here just default to "well just spend the $4k or you're going to suck". Reviews are hard to trust, someone asks about scope x vs y and you have people saying x is the clear winner, then others saying they are crazy y was the clear winner. There's also more than a few here with a "relationship" with an optics company pumping their products up, they are easy to see if you read enough posts.
IMO the best deals are sales, demos, rebates. $1100 would get you a DMR ii Pro and $1450 a XRS ii after the 20% rebate that just ended. $550 for LRHSi's after the GAP sale and rebate. PST Gen 2 3-15's for $675 at Midway now. The refurb T5xi's 5-25's for $1400, and 3-15 for $1100 are tempting. With the new street prices on the Razors they are flat out setting a new standard at a $1500-$1800 price point. It won't be long before a new $1200 scope is going to basically be the same price as a used 3-18 gen 2 razor. Those are some big shoes to compete against.
What scares me is that now that everyone is obsessed now with chromatic aberration, and getting "HD" glass will companies sacrifice durability and tracking to use better glass in these lower priced options. I'd rather have solid turrets, great tracking and give up the glass quality. I've yet to use a $1000 scope the glass was so bad it was not useable, but I've used several that had tracking/durability problems that made them useless. I equate this to about 15 years ago when uneducated 1911 buyers became obsessed with how tight the slide was fit to decide the quality of a 1911 (even though a tight slide has nothing to do with accuracy and almost always hurts reliability) companies starting making super tight slides, and it caused all sorts of reliability problems at lower/mid price points. They gave the foolish customer what they wanted, got lots of sales, but in doing so made a less reliable product.
I really don't see great options for you in your requirements, I'd probably say the Sig on sale. No vortex throws out the PST II, no tree throws out Athlon, LRTSi, DMR ii, 20x+ and $1200 throws out some of the deals like the, T5xi 3-15, 5-25. I don't think the 5-20 SWFA is worth $1300 in todays market but it does meet your criteria.
Personally I also believe there's also an advantage to have scopes with similar reticles between rigs. If you are just range shooting for leisure it's not a big deal, but one thing I learned shooting trap at a national level is the more consistent you can keep your gear once setup the better off you are. Switching between setups, guns, changing adjustments etc. almost always does more damage than good unless you are trying to fix a specific identified issue.
