Spotting Scope comparison

[freebird]

I currently own a Leupold SX-4 Pro guide 20-60X85. Its a great scope, but I feel there is better out there and want to start saving up money for one. Not doing much hunting anymore. But would be using it for trips to Yellowstone and going out and checking out the local wildlife.
Have had my eyes on the Swarovski 115mm with BTX and either STX or ATX eye piece.
Would I see enough difference to warrant the cost?
Thanks for any advice.

FWIW you can rent the ATX and STX from Optics4Rent if you're having a hard time finding them locally.
I've done the STX scope (includes Sirui tripod) through them (Optics4Rent) before.
I didn't have a nice scope or binoculars for my trip to Yellowstone in 2017.
How much use you get out of them may depend on the crowds and what sections of the park are open.
I tried the 115 mm BTX spotting scope system at Swarovski Optik's showroom in Austria last year and it was awesome (never get to see any Swarovski binos/scopes in mid-atlantic U.S.).

I had a Leupold spotter and it served me well. I sold it and purchased a Vortex Razor HD because it had more magnification. It looked great in Cabela's, but when I zoomed it, the image was not great. I decided to move up to a Swarovski ATS 80mm. This scope was far superior to the Leupold and Vortex. I was really happy with it until I looked through a buddy's ATX with a 95mm lens. To me it was far superior to the ATS. I have now owned the ATX and BTX eyepeices and I have the 115mm, 95mm and a 65mm lens. They have been fantastic and I can't imagine how anything could be better. One great thing about Swarovski is if you decide to purchase something else, the resale is outstanding! You will never regret it.
