I'm looking to upgrade my spotting scope. Probably in to $800-$1,000 price range. What do you think would be the best for that price range?

While the smaller scopes work well in low light conditions, the bigger more heavier scopes out perform the smaller ones in low light. Do you want a slightly heavier pack with good scope or can a smaller scope give you what you want at less weight?
I had to make the same decision as you, I bought the 65mm scope. For me it was the right decision. The bigger 80/85mm will probably only give you an extra 10 minutes.
If possible save up and buy a used swaro/leica/zeiss or if that is not an option the vortex line are great scopes and the smaller razors can be had for under $1000
Good luck in your decision
