Both has angle compensation.  Bushnell a  little cheaper. Leupold has red reticle.  What you fellas think?

I had a Leupold RX4 and honestly it was a POS.  It had a hard time getting a reading on anything over 300 to 400 yards.  I was trying to range our cargo trailer one day it is a 27 foot metal enclosed trailer.  I could not have been farther than 500 yards and it could not get a reading.  It also had so many buttons and options to deal with that I spent more time trying to get it on the setting I needed than actually using it.  Also the glass was horrible, it made it hard to try and pick out what I was trying to range sometimes. I sold it and bought a Leica and have been completely satisfied. 

I have not tried the Bushnell you are asking about.  I have used a Bushnell elite and while it does not have the image quality that the Leica does it ranged everything I tried out the 1200 yards.

The glass on the RX1000 isn't great, but the illuminated display makes a huge difference.  If you can't step up to the Leica/Zeiss class do to finances, the illumination in low light is worth the difference.  Also, mine ranges ok, unlike my old RX-II POS, but the glass leaves much to be desired.
