Buy recommendations Arken vs Bushnell warranty in Canada

I am deciding between the match pro ED 5-30 and then arken 5-25 gen2 with the TOR reticle. Im strongly leaning towards the arken as it has clearer glass, but i read somewhere that the warrenty is annoying in Canada. Which one has the better or vortex-like warranty?

I have both the older Arken Gen 2 7-35x56 and multiple Bushnells MPEDs, the Match Pro ED has much better glass.

Also, SFRC just had a Bushnell Match Pro ED sale at TACCOM, they were going for 35% off, but I think it's just a show special.

vortex-like warranty?

If you want Vortex like warranty, perhaps buy Vortex or consider TRACT which has a Canadian warehouse.

I bought an arken ep5 gen1 5-25 a while ago as well as a MPED5-30, the ep5 had same if not better glass. I bought a burris xtr3 which also had same glass as the arken gen1. So I have high expectations for the gen2. I sold my old gen1 and im selling my burris xtr3

I concur, not sure what cheesecake is talking about, ive got the gen2 ep5 7-35 and the clarity is unmatched when compared to my MPED. Im actually selling the bushnell now because of it
