They're almost exactly the same drop @ 600yds and the 250 TTSX will drift about 2.75" more @ 600 < 1/2MOA wind drift difference between the two.

Food for thought.
It's certainly tempting. Any idea where I could start looking for a rifle well south of $1,000?
2 further questions:

Where does .375 Ruger fall into this discussion? Essentially an even match for the H&H?

There are Mossberg rifles available chambered for that, priced under $500. That pricing doesn't seem like it would get me to where I want to be, but it's a considerably lower price of admission to the medium-bore game. Do these things have anything better than a "functional" reputation?

I've never owned or shot a .375 Ruger so I can't say. Back in the height of Remington making dozens if not hundreds of SKU's on the 700's they has a 700 SPS Syn/Blued in .375 H&H that retailed for <$600. No clue if anyone might part with one for that kind of $$ now though.
