Welcome aboard... I personally don't own a NF (a little steep for my bank account!) but everyone says if you go by the mantra of "buy once cry once" NightForce is the way to go. I've been from one side of the globe to the other... Spent some time in the Caucus Mountains, Latvia, Western Africa, Australia and other less desirable places but have never been to Alaska but always wanted to go... lots of wide open spaces; Alaska, Montana, and Wyoming are my top three choices on retirement destination if the wife will let me.
