To me, the SLCs are worth $$$. I only paid $1400 for mine new so can't say if I would have paid $2000.
I have found deer at 5 miles with my 15s (measured with GPS) they make all the difference in the world.
I would not hesitate to buy the Kaibabs if I didn't already have my SLCs, but I do think the SLCs are better.
