Help. I need to choose between these two rangefinders. Price is not one of the criteria (buy once cry once).

I have read dozens of posts here and on other sites. I cannot find many (really any) detailed reviews of the CRF PRO (too new?).

Things I want:
  1. Monocular format, not binos
  2. Great glass (Using NL Pure Binos)
  3. Accuracy for rifle shooting up to around 1,000 yards (I am not good enough yet to take an ethical shot farther)
  4. Ability to drop a pin to software for navigation / recovery
  5. Applied ballistics for multiple gun/ammo combinations on board in the rangefinder (no need to use mobile phone while hunting)
  6. Decent cold weather performance (I live in New England)
These both appear to have all of the above covered with +/- to each unit. I want to love the Kilo8K, but I have read lots of complaints of color tint to the optics and it seems you need to subscribe to basecamp to be able to drop pins, whereas Leica has zero complaints about glass and can drop pins to free software.

The sig appears to have more features and includes the applied ballistics out of the box where Leica has a $150 upcharge for the full applied ballistics if I read it correctly.

Looking forward to opinions of anyone using one or both of these units. The only other one I considered was Terrapin X.
