They also get 606, which is a +10 strength bonus. 610 also gives you a room knockdown which is handy for lowering DS. I make a lot of money from skinning / herb bounties (603/604). It probably washes out evenly, since I have to pay to get my boxes opened.
I've played both; both are excellent snipers. Rogues have slightly more versatility in that you have a Guild, better CMANs, and can open boxes. Rangers are probably slightly better hiders outdoors, but don't have a guild.
I'd say both are the best choices for a sniper build. It's up to you if you have a preference for what would be more fun for you.
