How do these two stack up?  I've read tons or reviews on each independently, but never comparing the two.  I like the weight savings of the Zeiss, but wondered how it stacked up against the Meopta.  Thoughts?

IMO,

The Meopta performs better optically.  The Conquest HD shows a bit more CA at the edge.

The ergos, especially the eye relief of the Conquest HD's just do not work for me no matter if it's an 8x32 or 10x42.  I kept getting blackouts.  Maybe the eyepiece construction, I don't know.  The Meopta HD's are fantastic, my pick of the litter under $2k.
