I don't like or trust Bushnell products just based on my experience and those guys who I have hunted with - there are some staunch Bushnell defenders here on the campfire I found out. Selling them in new condition with a clear conscience sounds like good advice to me.
Sending checks to people who sold you poor quality equipment doesn't seem like the market is working as it should but since you already are committed all you can do is make sure to stay on top of them during the short warranty period.
I like the idea of range finding binos but pairing electronics that fail and are rapidly obsolete with optics that should last decades doesn't seem like the right mix for me.
