IF I was going with Leica, I'd work with Doug. Going it alone without those guys as your advocates with Leica may not be the best move.

Zeiss and Swaro have great CS.

I got Zeiss Victory 8x45 rangefinder binocs from Doug and crew. Even as a discounted store sample they cost more than OP's budget. But what fine binocs they are and the rangefinder is excellent. Ranging in the binoc is faster than using two devices. Sometimes a second or two can be critical.
