while I don't think you can ever get a real idea of glass quality from inside a building you are definitely right in that edge to edge clarity is not amazing.
Interestingly one of my March scopes is noticeably better than the other one but I haven't done anything about it yet.
That display at the sika show was embarrassingly basic wasn't it!! Hardly in line with scopes in the $3.5-$4.5k region.
When you talk about the mil dot reticle I presume your concern is the clarity when using it for holdover? I always dial so not such an issue and to be fair the March turrets are some of the best I have ever used.
If you are near the Waikato you are welcome to look through both of mine.
