JG, sorry to hear your experience with Leica CS has been poor. I've used them twice and both times they went above and beyond my expectations.
The first time was several years ago when I bought a used Geovid that had been left on the dashboard of a truck in the Arizona sun and the armor was literally cooked and the eyecups were brittle. I sent them back to Leica and they completely refurbished them and didn't cost me anything other than shipping to them.
I recently sent a Geovid in for an eyecup that was frozen in the down position. They repaired them and overnighted them back to me. The total turnaround time including transit time in me shipping them back to Leica was eight days, and they provided email updates every step of the way.

I liked the idea of a combo range and bino, but couldn't get by the consideration of what to do when the rangefinder crapped out. I have 40 yr old binos that work flawless, but never a rangefinder over 10-12 years before issues arise

They are excellent, I have been using the model pictured since 2015 and even though I have other top end glass they continue to impress.
Everybody's eyes/face is different but if they seem like a good fit and are priced fairly I'd buy them, I'm sure you'll be happy. I'm curious how they would compare with a pair of Japanese Leupold BX-3 Mojave 8x42's. the Leupolds aren't even in the same universe to compare. at least to me. I have one of the Leupolds issued and spend a lot of time using them for surveillance work. one of the things I have learned is they absolutely kill my eyes with strain if I spend more than a couple minutes using them at a time. I don't have the same issue with my personal owned leicas

If anyone is interested I happen to have a Leica Geovid 10x42 rangefinder bino I'm getting ready to list. They are my dad's and in mint condition.
I'm also going to list my Leuca Ultravid HD 10x42.
