bushnell 6500 tactical vs sightron SIII 8x32

Guys: i need some help,i bought a new 6500 tactical 4.5x30 scope and have been using it for a month now.the scope tracks beautifully, nice solid turrets my problem is at 30 power the resolution/clarity drops right off.i really wanted a SIII 8x32 but did not want to wait in excess of a month,now i'am thinking of ordering one but first i want to here from sightron SIII 8x32 owners.is the sight picture at 32 power crisp at the edges?? how critical is eye alignment? i don't want to buy a second scope only to have the same issues.here in canada i payed $1000.00 for the 6500 and the SIII is about $1100.00 not a lot of difference in price but i need a honest opinion as i need to decide before the 'F' class shooting season begins. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
 
I purchased two 6500's and was not happy with either of them.
Sent both of them back and I now have a Sightron III in 8x32 and I am very happy with it.
Do a search for reviews and more opinions.

I am very happy with my Sightron 8X32X56 It is very clear all the way to the edges at 32 power. As far as the price $1100.00 is not even close. I bought mine from Larry D. Scott greatscott144@yahoo.com www.varmithunters.com or call him at,270)924-5290 he has the cheapest prices on Sightrons scopes and Jewell triggers. He is selling these for $785.00 shipping included. CALL LARRY YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!! The Best Part is He has them in stock right NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Well you guy's are really making my mind up for me,i am very disappointed with the 4.5x30 6500 tactical's image quality at 30 power.
 
I bought an 8-32x56 and then turned around and added a 6-24x50 with mil-dot to the collection. If you are looking for any negative at all, it would have to be that I found the eye-relief/movement a little testy at 32x. Practice and familiarity will cure that in the long run, I'm sure.
 
can someone email me some pics of the turrets on the new 8x32 SIII. i can't seem to find any pics of turrets.thanks in advance send to dglaf@shaw.ca
