RE: range finders
Definately think the Leica is worth the money. Started off with a Bushnell Legend, and finally traded around to the Leica 1200. No comparison between these two in ranging capabilities, and ranging accuracy. But the Leica costs twice as much. What you get in optics seems to pretty much correlate to how much you want to spend. This might vary a little, but in my experience, not much.
