I recently purchased a Magnetospeed chronograph, and it is awesome. No more screens, no more spurious readings in different light, no extensive line-up issues, and no shooting the box! It simply is attached to the end of the barrel with some velcro, and that's all. Yesterday, a fellow shooter used it with his 7mm Rem Mag, with no problems.
The display box and actual LCD display are a little cheesy and cheap feeling, but it all worked great. I think better fittings and a better case would make it a really class machine. I predict it will eliminate all of the optical chronographs.
However, the time saved in setup and take down make it more than worth the extra expense. As the technology improves, like anything, the prices will likely come down. The reviews on other websites support how good it is, and this is one of the best shooting investments (if there is such a thing) I have ever made, and one of the most innovative advances we have seen in a long time.
