Hello, I'm looking for good multipurpose rangefinder binoculars for hunting, long-range shooting etc.

I was looking at the Vortex Fury HD 5000 which seems to be a pretty good piece of equipment and it also has the Vortex VIP warranty and it costs $1200 USD.
After doing some more research I also found the Sig KILO3000 BDX which is also a 10x42 and is $1200 USD as well.

I know the Sig includes the ballistic calculation inside of the range finder. Although this is a nice feature I do own the Applied Ballistics App on my phone where I can get my ballistic calculation.

If I had to choose between the Vortex VIP lifetime warranty and the Sig ballistic calculator I think I would choose the lifetime warranty.

Are there any other differences between these two items?
Does anyone have any experience with these? Any advice of where should I put my money towards?

Many thanks in advance!
 
I was playing with my buddy's Kilo 3000 BDX yesterday, real nice units. Ranging treetops freehand at 2055 yards. I called Sig to order a set today. I don't have any experience with the Vortex so can't compare but the BDX integration with the Sigs is great. I already have a Sig Kilo 2400 BDX LRF and the way it integrates with my Kestrel is awesome. I've never bothered to use the built in AB Lite since I have a Kestrel Elite with AB anyways and the integration is pretty seamless.
