I'm a little behind on my research of the a-tips, How is the expansion/ terminal performance with them. I saw the youtube video with an antelope getting shot thru the shoulder and passing thru with the 6.5. That makes me wonder if they are going to need to hit bone to reliability expand?

There have been issues with the 6.5 and the right bullet choice for light hunting. Most 6.5 bullets are for target and don't perform well as a good hunting bullet.
The Hornady Amax is basically a hunting bullet. My choice for game would be the 140g Hornady interlock or the Nosler Accubond 140g Spitzer.

I've found this about the price:

How much will it COST? RCBS has not officially released an MSRP, but we're told the list MSRP could be $899.00, with a "street price" around $770.00. Stay tuned for updated pricing information from vendors.

Why would that be a better choice than say a A&D fx120i with auto tricker that is .02 resolution?

It's not.
