Has anyone had the opportunity to really evaluate the capabilities of this new unit. I suspect most of the money was spent on binocs rather than a rangefinder.
Swarovski 10 power binocs/rangefinder

The Swarovski 10x42 EL Range has been out a few years and has a nice reputation. Good quality solid reliable unit. Does not have all the bells and whistles of some of the newer units

I wish the bino LRF market would get big. I feel there aren't too many great options here. The swaros are nice, but it seemed to me the beam divergence was not particularly tight. The glass is quite nice -and you are not degrading swaro quality for the LRF, but I was not overly impressed with the LRF capability for the 3 hours or so I was behind them spotting PRS style shooting
A couple years ago I had the intent of buying a pair of these, but after comparing them side by side with the non-RF version I couldn't do it. To me the glass wasn't as good. Ended up buying a Pair of EL 10x50 and a Leica 2000b RF.
After a long look at combinations, I have decided to upgrade both my rf and binocs separately. I will be waiting till the shot show to purchase a dedicated better rf but I just updated my binocs and want to tell everyone how special my choice is. I am replacing my Leica 8 x 50 of thirty years ago with my first product ever from Nikon, the Monarch HG. If you are in the market for very good binocs look up the evaluations on them . You likely will need $2500 Swarovski Els to beat them. Compact, attention to detail, easy to hold, diopter, built in objective covers and a full length case included. You would be challenged to find someone with more spotting time than I have. I use Swaro 65 mm Big Eyes for when they quit!
