I don't have a BDX and don't even know what that system is, but I do have a Whiskey 5. It is built well with good glass. It also tracks really well.

Bdx is where the smart phone talks to the range finder, the range finder talks to the scope, and the scope lights up the windage and elevation firing solution. (If it works).

I ordered a scope and range finder. Guess I will see how it works.
Update:
I think its going back. Optics are definitely not what my eyes consider high end. Eye box is tiny. Low light performance is horrid. I honestly dont care how good the BDX does or does not work because I cant get past the crappy glass.
(All my opinion, of course.)

I've had a Revic PMR428 scope for a couple years and really like it. While it doesn't talk to my range finder,the onboard ballistics computer system and heads up display work really well.
Just range your target and dial the turret until the HUD shows you the distance,hold off for your wind if needed,and pull the trigger.

The glass in the Revic is very good,it compares at or above a Razor HD glass depending on your eyes.
