HI,
I have both scopes you are looking at, The S3 is really a big jump up from the big sky version different glass altogether.
Sightron does represent good value for money, Yes the S3 is a bit more touchy on the paralax very fine adjustments you are either in or not, but shooting at a known distance is an advantage so set it once and u should be right, I would say you wouldn't be let down going the S3 10-50x60 comapared to nightforce benchrest model.  I also have the Nightforce competition model which i believe is much better to look thru than the benchrest model, thats my eyes anyway.
But as far as the 2 your are comparing for my eyes the Sightron is there with NF Benchrest model no problems.
Just one thing to consider is the weight, if your building a light gun then look into that cause the S3 i think is a bit heavier than the NF..

Hope this helps and not confuses you a bit more,
Cheers
