What is the typical savings, percentage wise over new prices at competitive vortex retailers?

Depends on the how expensive the item is to start with. New Venom or Viper red dots generally go for around $200 +/- $30, and the refurbs are $140, so not a huge savings there. But apparently they've already sold out of Razor HD Gen IIs priced at around $1k when they normally go for $1500 - $2500. I don't know which models were available since out of stock items get taken down, but that's a savings of at least about 30%.

Since the refurbs still carry the full warranty, are delivered in factory packaging, and (in my experience) are indistinguishable from new, I'd say it's generally worth it.
