Vortex diamond back vs burris E1 budget build

[JVS]

Scope shopping for a new tikka t3 in 6.5cm. This will primarily be a Missouri whitetail hunting rifle. Wanted to get one of the cheaper maven scopes but would like an AO.
Boiled it down to these two. Burris E1 4.4-14x42 with MOA ret and vortex diamondback 3-12. Have had good luck with the Burris FF2 line in 3-9. Open to other suggestions

Diamondback HP is $170 at EuroOptics. Better scope than the Burris IMO.

I had the Vortex on my 308 and it performed well. No experience with the Burris.

MidwayUSA also usually has the DB HP 4-16x42 for around $200 with the BDC reticle. Its out of stock atm but they get them in all the time.
