Lots of good info.
IMHO, as always buy the best you can, keep in mind you will be on the move alot following the elk so weight will matter and the most important time is first and last light, so try for the largest objective lense. I use Zeiss 10 x 30, Pentax 9 x 63 or Steiner 12 x 40, the Zeiss and Steiner are the lightest for the size of the objective. And I use a Niko spotter XL 11 on a lightweight tripod, but seldom bring it for elk.
And I agree with the comments about keeping up with the new technologies, can't do it nor afford it...
