I've got a Meopta Meopro and Leupold VX5hd, comparable in price and value.
The Meopro might be slightly better in low light.

My thoughts exactly.That's a harsh comparison. I'd rank Vortex a solid competitor with Barska, but Tasco? Ouch.
Same thing I went through. Had the 4-16 Diamondback just like you and wanted an upgrade. I believe the VX3i is optically better than the Viper HS series based on the in store and out of store tests I did. However I ended up with the Viper HS (couldn't get the B&C reticle from BPS and had gift cards to use). I am not displeased with it, but sometimes wonder if I should have purchased the Leupy anyways and used my GC on something else.
