I could never spend that kind of money on optics. It would break my heart if I damaged them in the woods, and I don' t want to have to worry about that. I' d rather get a set of $50-$100 bushnells and be happy with the enhanced vision I get from them. I can' t think of how much more game I would kill or how bigger of an animal gets if I spent about a grand on optics. I don' t think it would be much, if any.
