Beav’, your guys elk hunting out there is intriguing.
What ranges are you guys typically talking on those clear cuts?
Aside from hunting timber. Our cuts very from small pockets to huge cuts. I tell hunters coming out to hunt to expect shots from 400 yards out to 750 yards.

Anyone got an example on why running top shelf scope glass is an advantage?

Getting back to the original question, there are three clear reasons why someone may choose Alpha Glass.
1. Brightness, clarity, and depth of view. 2. Low light visibility. 3. Reliability.
If you can afford Alpha Glass and it makes you happy, then that is one of life's little pleasures for you to enjoy. It is definitely optional equipment though, not mandatory at all.
Owning a high-end scope does not make you a better marksman or hunter. It lets you see a bit better to some degree than lesser glass. Except for super-low light conditions, it is doubtful you would miss a kill shot with a lesser scope. And if you can't see hogs in low light with the scope you have now and you want that extra 15-30 minutes extra hunting time, is it worth the $2000 extra it costs to have that?
My next scope will be a S&B Polar. Not because I need it, but because I want it. I want one because nice glass makes me happy and I look forward to using it.
Out of 10 rifles all have Leupold scopes. Four 4x, one 6x, two 2.5x8, and one 3x9 all with the post & duplex reticle. I have a 3x Big Bore with the HD and a 3.5x10 with the standard duplex. I lose the reticles before the scopes are too dim to see through. I use a B&L Discoverer 7x42mm binocular that I can use after the scopes aren't useable. A safe and humane shot is more important than a trophy to me. YMMV.
