I could have replaced my Taylor R7 Quad but chose the Pinseeker. It can hurt the wallet but in the world of golf equipment, where a new driver can be upwards of $500 it's not that out of limits. However, the only drawback is it's price. Very easy to use and the pinseeker technology really does work. I've played 5 rounds with this 'finder' and am very pleased with it's results. What a difference! Nearly exact yardages, confidence in club selection, and getting back to having fun and not worrying about pacing off distance. On the advice of a very trusted rep at Golftown (Canada's version of Golf Galaxy) who recommended the Pinseeker 1500 with slope (I'm not a pro), I can honestly say I am 100% satisfied. I really found conflicting opinions on models, cost, usefulness which made my decision very difficult. I researched extensively on rangefinders in the winter season. If you are willing to invest $420 + tax to your game ($400 for the rangefinder + $20 more for the case) I think your game will see some improvement.

I would recommend getting the optional $20 carrying case, however, as it has straps to secure it to your bag. It is also fast as the time to remove it from the carrying case, shoot the distance and return it to the case is less than 10 seconds. The unit is light, fits nicely in the hand, and I had no problems getting a distance even though I don't have the steady hands of a surgeon.

I believe the unit delivers the +/- one yard accuracy it promises as several times I obtained a distance, walked away, and then reshot the distance - with the second yardage always coming within one yard of the first reading. There was also no problem getting distances to things you'd like to avoid like trees, traps, ponds, etc. I had no problem getting distances to flags up to 250 yards (using the pinseeker mode which zeroes in a flag while ignoring, say, trees in the background). This is a great (albeit expensive) tool for the serious golfer. I first used the rangefinder on a two week vacation where I golfed everyday at the Hayward (Wisconsin) Golf & Tennis Club.
