Yes, buy once. Not twice. Been there done that. My 1200 Leica is about 9 years old. No need for a warranty. It does not do what the new ones will, but all I want it to do is tell me the range. It does that well. Look at the aiming dot/what ever you look at to range. The Leica is much smaller and more unobtrusive than many other I have looked through. That helps a bunch when looking 1K+ away. Is it at this tree or that one.. The Leica can distinguish between which tree. The aiming point is not two trees wide.
