So ballpark, what does Leupold get for adding a turret? I've got an older VX-II I would like to get one added too. I've looked at some of the aftermarket ones too, but I like the idea of having one factory installed by Leupold.
Where would I find an aftermarket turret?

I prefer to range, dial, shoot vs range, get out the phone and push buttons, then dial and shoot. Turrets are the way to go as Buzz has mentioned.

I don't disagree with dialing for range. On a VX-II Leupold. Like Buzz said. Its probably best to have Leupold put in the upgraded springs. The dual erector spring set will help insure reliability and accuracy in the elevation turret. There would be nothing more frustrating on your hunt that inaccurate turrets.
Whatever you decide to do, Shoot it on paper at 500yds and make 100% certain that it works the way you think it will before your hunt. Verify if the turrets are calibrated for .25MOA or .25"/Hundred yards (they are not necessarily interchangeable). And use it to help build a true 500 yard dope for the rifle.
Buzz- what does the dual erector spring due for the scope?
The short version as I understand it is... It adds an additional spring to help tension and balance the tension applied to the erector tube to help promote smooth, consistent, accurate, and repeatable performance on the turrets. Especially helpful when regularly using the top or bottom 10-15% of turret travel. Helps prevent the elevation dial from randomly adding windage at the extreme top and bottom of the turret.Buzz- what does the dual erector spring due for the scope?
