Nikon and Leupold make some good stuff but their rfs are not their good stuff. I had a Nikon that I replaced with the less expensive Bushnell 1500. It will pick up animals out to 1000 yards, trees over 1300, and cars over 1600. I like the bulk of it, as the case is my rear rest! It was only $300. I would certainly trade it for a Zeiss, Leica, or Swaro any day. The Elite 1500 is fine but the Leica, would be my choice if I was in your budget range. I'll probably eventually replace mine with a bino/rf, but then I'll need a new rear rest!
