There are proabbly a bunch if things that makes them "alpha" IMO
1. Snyder is a killing machine, always seems to get it done and has an obsurd time/experience in the field and has a very entertaining podcast.
2. Snyder is a gear junkie, constantly testing and comparing gear with honest opinions...

If the "lesser" pair worked great then the SLC 15s will be awesome, personally I bought the EL 12s because they are small enough that they can be used on my chest for quick glances, if you are planning on only tripod use, the SLC will be perfect for you. The only thing you are gaining with the...
I have really enjoyed using 12s, they force me to use my tripod more, which is a good thing!
IMO, For more open country western hunting
8s = incredible hand holding, decent on tripod
10s = good at hand holding, good on tripod
12s= decent hand holding, incredible on a tripod
15s = tripod...
IMO, looking at the long term perspective, the more the better. The more money the gov gets for hunting, the more its willing to protect it and its animals. Animals find a way to avoid pressure, so if you can think like an animal and be willing to work hard, you can have incredible hunts. Smart...

Pick a unit that will allow you to be mobile and have 7 or 8 back up plans for spots to check out and relocate, each unit has elk, it's your job to find them. Since it's your first year, just finding an elk on public land would make it a successful trip.
The kowa will serve you well for a do it all spotter, I was in a simular situation and have decided on saving up for the 85 ATX simply because it's only 7 oz heavier than the 773 kowa with the TE-11 eyepiece AND can swap into BTX which will be very helpful for me during mule deer scouting...
Going to try a kifaru pack, need a bit more support in the hips for heavy pack outs and training. I just wish their bags weren't so dang heavy. Looks like the muskeg 5000 is the best bag for the weight so I'll try that this year
