Opinions based on Experience?

Really depends on your use. I've got the Vortex Sparc II for my Redhawk. Works great!!
Got the Vortex Viper HD 10x42 Binos. Works great
Got the Vortex Viper HD 15-45x65 Spotting Scope. Works Great!!
Got the Vortex Crossfire II 1-4x24 Rifle scope. Will work for what I want it for. It has a illuminated reticle which is what I wanted for my short range Pig gun. It's fairly clear but lacks some of the "sharp" focus and the crosshair seems to float around some when moving your eye thoughout the scope. I wanted a dependable scope for my pig gun with illuminated reticle that didn't cost a fortune and this fit the bill. I personally wouldn't put one on my go to gun. It's been my experience their scope doesn't measure up to the spotting scope and binos quality of vision up to the Diamondback models for whatever reasons. If you can afford to spend a little more on the Vortex scope I'd do that for sure. Arrowsmith on here is a super great guy to deal with on Vortex products.

I like the 2 pair of Vortex Razor binos I own, however haven't been a huge fan of the scopes. I have one on my .17 and even though it holds zero the glass isn't nearly as clear as my Nikon in the same price range.

No experience with the lower end Vortex stuff. But I own several Viper PST scopes and 1 Razor personally I don't think they can be beat by anything else in the same price range (just my opinion). Getting the focus set properly does take some effort and they do frequently get back out of focus (no locking ring). Glass on the PST is not quite as good as some other brands but the Razor is awesome but you pay for it. all of the Vortex scopes I own are on top of long range rifles clicks are very precise and I have never had a problem with holding zero. Customer service is great I've sent 2 back for repairs and both were taken care of within two weeks.

I have a crossfire 2 on my 7mag and have zero complaints, it's probably my go to "value scope" Ive bought 2 of them. if I was to really compare I'd say the clarity of my var x 3 is a little better but then I'm talking about a scope that cost 2-3x as much.

LOL, I may just stay with Nikon....

That's a good plan!

I have a crossfire II 4x16x50 on my weatherby .270 and I have no complaints yet.. Have killed 2 deer with so far. Also have a Nikon 4x12 on my .308 and no complaints there either.. I just like the higher magnification on the vortex

I bought a Crossfire and was very disappointed in the glass quality. Very fuzzy around the edges.
