Whats available for Range finding Bino's these days?

Fwiw I have the 1mile Bushnell fusion binos. Love them. Have ranged out past 1 mile with them and they are very good optically as well. I would buy them again in an instant. My only gripe is that I can hold them left handed with one hand and range with them. I'm a bow hunter and carry my bow in my right.
 
They are wonderful devices...but would interested to hear how many people who have them use the rfdr all the time? Some of the time? Seldom? Etc

Within the first few days of using my first Leica Geovids I caught on that that if I ranged as I looked; then when I spotted animals I already knew how to kill them. From there it wasn't a huge leap to thinking "Hey, if I glassed from that other spot over there (211 yards away), I'd actually be able to shoot if I do see something". Or "That deer is a bit far, but when I clear that hill over there the range will 350 yards shorter. Might as well dial it in now". Or "Anything this side of those dead trees is in point blank range, won't be needing to range before shooting".

Once you have toy; you'll find lots of ways to use it. One time in Argentina I plastered a red stag from a valley wall at 568 yards. It was in thick brush with openings at the bottom. Guide didn't speak English, but you don't need a translator to know when someone is looking hard for an animal and starting to get worried. I zapped back to my firing position and sort of gestured ahead as we walked and said "Ciento metros". He lit right up, because although he didn't own RFBs and likely never will he caught on instantly as to what I'd done.
