for me an S and B isnt worth twice the cost. glass isnt twice as good, tracking isnt twice is good, FFP doesnt offer me twice the ability to range stuff. the S and B doesnt have twice the travel.
is it better, in my opinion yes, but being slightly better in every catogory doesnt equal 2x the price for me.
just like with everything eles there is a point of diminishing returns on your investment.
its kinda like getting a GAP rifle, it will look and shoot great, but wont really outpreform a bedded, rebarreled and trued 700p for 3 or 4 x the cost if done by any decent gunsmith.

+1 Roger that.... The S&B is not $2k better than a NF... It may have better light gathering but BARELY, it may get you an extra 15 minutes at the end of the day... Are you going to be shooting at dusk or low light enough to justify features that you may never use? thats up to you... There is koolaid by the bucket fulls being sucked down by so many people about S&B. You can get a NF with custom reticle, FFP, blah blah, trick it out and it will still be half the cost of a S&B with half the specs... and for what?... 15 more minutes of trigger time? PERSONALLY it aint worth it. but to each his own.. good luck
