I Prefer the range finding binos. I hunt a lot of open country and primarily spot and stalk. Binos and a range finder are a must in the open. Having both in one package has simplified life.

I don’t do a lot of treestand/blind hunting.But when I do I feel that a range finder is a must and binos are nice to have. I have yet to encounter a situation when having them in the same package was a problem.
