I have been kicking around the idea of getting a chronograph for a long, long time.
My problem is that I keep thinking that I need to get a Labradar for so many reasons, but the cost keeps me from pulling the trigger.
I can always get a less expensive chrono I guess (~$100 range), but I hate the downsides (light issues, clouds, wind, lead poisoning, need a cold range to setup, lots more to carry and setup, etc.).
I was looking to get a Labradar with my tax refund, but bought a Dillon XL650 instead for the same price, and obviously the XL650 is going to get a *LOT* more use over the years than the Labradar.
So...
-Tell me again why I *need* a chronograph. How will it help me?
-How much of a pain really are those downsides I list?
-Is this just a "shutup and buy one" sort of thing?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
