I had either a mid '80s Competition Electronics 1st. It was a screaming pile of unrepairable schidt. My Oehler has been fine since the late 80s. The only complaint is that late afternoon is kinda sketchy when the sun gets too low so I try to plan accordingly.
It seems silly to shoot over the head/control unit because schitt do happen. Skyscreens are cheap in comparison. The Oehler is a bit of a pain to set up if there are other shooters at the range but I will use it til it croaks. If buying new today I would either get another Oehler or look closely at a Labradar.
A magnetospeed might work using Mule Deer's extra front rest setup, but otherwise would be a pain to swap between guns because I take 4 or 5 rifles to the range. I'm also unsure how it would work on a pistol.
