While a 50mm will gather more light, it might not be best for getting a better sight picture, for me the extra weight and bulk was not worth it. The extra FOV is nice but again come with limitations. My experience comparing them in hunting use only amounted to about an extra 10-15 minutes of visible light on both ends of daylight hours. Leupold found a nice compromise with their vx-7(??) Line that featured a contoured lens to go around the barrel and allow lower mounting, not worth the price in my opinion though.

Also when scope shopping, try to take it outside if possible, store lighting really makes it difficult to compare glass quality.
