Hey Keith....we love the solmetric.....our love of instant gratification makes this our choice......being able to digitally remove trees infront of the customer and discuss it is a great tool. We dont like how the battery continuously needs charged.....a better battery would be wonderful.....It is great to be able to take 10 shots in 5 minutes....... We have both tools and both can be accurate. We pretty much always choose to use the suneye......Their continuous imporvement is appreciated......wish they were cheaper....we would get more of them. Cheers,
