I used a Shooting Chrony for years but got wise to its shortcomings and bought a used 35P some years ago. It's bigger and bulkier and takes a few minutes longer to set up, but if you're gonna putz around with a chronograph at all you may as well putz around with one that gives you not only good velocities, but meaningful stats also. That said, I think a Labradar would be much simpler to set up and use, but it has its own idiosyncrasies.
