There are lots of people using a thermal as a scanner, and night vision for the gun.
However, on the justify part, the only person who can justify it is yourself. However, how much do people spend on boats to catch a few fish, or UTVs to go 4wheeling, or carts, clubs, and green fees for golf, and the list goes on? My hobby is coyote hunting. It was hard to justify for me as well, but for me, it was worth every penny. In your case, you are already using night vision, so just a decision if thermal is worth the extra money.
