Leupold VX3i vs VX3HD

[chkunz]

It looks like the Leupold VX3i has been replaced with the VX3HD.
Can anyone provide a comparison between these two models?
First had experience would be good.

In my opinion, no comparison! HD is far superior!

The glass seems slightly better to me on the HD, but I don’t really like the CDS elevation turret. It works fine, but adjusting the zero requires a tiny Allen wrench, and is sort of a pain compared to a regular capped dial.

Very cool. The different in images is exactly what I've seen.
