I thought about these a lot. The reasons I haven't include: so-so optics, warranty on the electronics was lacking, big and heavy, and price tag, meaning having them on several rifles would be prohibitive.
But if you do take a lot of longish shots, for sure it would have to be faster than ranging and dialing. The wind is another issue. When shooting targets or pdogs, you have ample opportunity to take a reading and enter that info. Or even spot and stalk type of hunting. But calling? If you have time to figure out the wind on that 4, 5 or 600 yard shot, you probably have time to spin turrets.
The advantage I see, is those shots where you're not quite sure if it's in easy hold and shoot range, or if some elevation is required. For me I'm dialed at 200, so 300 is fairly easy. But knowing if it's 250, 300, 350, etc is where this scope comes in, to make those fast shots at intermediate ranges. However, there just don't seem to be that many of those situations in a given year to justify it for me.
