If you are young and do a lot of hunting both here in the US and Africa then buy once cry once. Get the best that you can afford, I was in my mid 60's before I purchased my first pair of Swaro's.
As for the rangefinder in the binoculars, I believe that if you are young enough where you are going to make a lot of good use of it then it makes sense. In February on my javelina hunt in Arizona a friend was talking about getting a new pair of binoculars with the range finder, I asked him just how much he would use it now that his will be 72 this year. He said that he'll just keep on using the separate range finder on his hunts.
Together we had a couple of long talks on just how much longer we'll be able to hunt elk and mule deer here in Colorado plus our hunts each year down in Arizona. We came to the conclusion that we are getting close to that downward spiral.
