I've been using rangefinder binoculars of various makes for a few years now, and while the convenience is great, I'm starting to come to the same conclusion as boatanchor. Something is likely to go haywire in the RF eventually, and I also started to miss my Leica 8+12x42 Duovid for glassing. (It may have "inferior" glass, but I notice that hunting with 10x binoculars of other makes my companions often ask to take a look through it, because they can see better with 12x than 10x.)

This fall I tried going back to the Duovid and a separate rangefinder and liked it a lot.
