18x56 Maven vs Vortex

[68w]

Has anyone had the chance to compare these directly? I’ve found tons of reviews independently. I’ve seen the mavens vs the swaros which made them sounds pretty good, but so far none have compared these two head on.

They both seem to use the new Abbe-Koening prism and both are from Japan. So I’m wondering if there is actually much of a difference? I’ve never used any maven products. Used lots of vortex, swaros, NF, Leupold etc.

I’m looking to pick up a set now and trying to decide which route to go. Both are within my budget, not sure I can swing the extra for Swarovski right now, but maybe if I decide to get rid of the spotting scope.

Let me know your thoughts or if you have any other recommendations for that power range/budget.
