Optics upgrade - RF binos vs rf+binos

[Hikinghunter]

Have been saving up and am planning to upgrade my optics. Would enjoy hearing your opinion on these options.

Before we start, a few things:
1. My current tools are a set of vortex vanquish binos and an sig bushmaster 1500 rangefinder. I've actually been very effective with this combo for bow hunting and rifle out to 600 yards. But just saying - the bar is pretty low here.
2. Im poor My budget is $800, and this took a year of saving. Please don't advise me to "save up" for a higher budget option (if you do I'll PM you my PayPal info and ask you for a donation, lol).
3. I hunt tough, nasty terrain, and my stuff takes a beating. For this reason, I like "no questions asked" warrenties on most things.

My current thoughts are either
1. Vortex Razor HD 4000 rangefinder+ Diamondback HD 12x50 binos
2. Vortex Fury 5000 HD 10x42 rangefinding binos

I'm fine using my sig 1500 for ranging bow hunting shots. It's a little questionable for rifle shots up to 800 yards, though, hence the upgrade. It would also be nice to see if I'm looking at a legal buck (3pt or better) at longer distances. My trijicon tenmile 5-25 scope is enough glass to do this, but it would be nice to have some binos that'll at least give me an idea whether it's worth getting the rifle out.

Get the Furys. They're much better binos than the Diamondbacks.

I have the Fury rangefinding bino. Absolutely love them. The work amazing....big game is a no brainer. Where they are especially effective is shooting prairie dogs. Glass and range ... shoot. Otherwise you glass...try to find dogs with range finders. Then dog moves. Relocate...much faster with the fury

Fury 5000

3 votes for the fury 5000. Sounds like a pretty clear winner! Of course, I'll still have to play with it and see if I like it. Seems like they resell pretty well in the PX if I wind up hating them, but something tells me that won't happen.

I have the fury 5000AB as well as the viper hd. I don't know if I just got lucky or what but I really like the hd for just glassing. That being said for shooting the furrys are way better. I just don't like the blue color i guess.
