Immersive 5x30 sourcing

I'm about to pull the trigger on an Element Immersive 5x30 MRAD or an Immersive Optics 5x30 Pro Mildot. Like the Element's reticle a little bit better, but not nearly $300 better...

Has anyone here from the US made a recent purchase of an Immersive-branded scope from the UK or EU and could either point to a particular good vendor (looks like there are a bunch to sort through) or wave off because of issues? If not, will flip a coin to decide between next-day Amazon for the Element or crossing my fingers and buying from Europe.

Both are solid choices - the Element's reticle is indeed nicer, but $300 buys a lot of ammo. For US buyers, check Optics Warehouse UK (reliable int'l shipping) or wait for Black Friday sales. Had a buddy get hit with $50 import fees on an EU order last month though, so factor that in.
 
I had it buried deep in these threads probably about 2021 time.
I have purchased two IO scopes from Ireland (I believe). Recovered the link from my old emails. Also upgraded one scope (5x30-pro) directly with IO in 2023.

I have ordered 2 of the 5x30 pros and like them.
