I have the 800 LRF, is it worth upgrading to the 900 CRF model ?
is the size the only difference?

I have some 1200CRF picks up deer out to 742YDS no prob.havn`t tried further yet.

I upgraded from the 800 LRF to a used 1200 LRF, very happy with the upgrade.

My 1200 ranges reliably and quickly out to 850-900 yards or so; beyond that it will do it but it's trickier.

To ME, that would be the reason to upgrade, if there even is a reason- not so much to be able to range to 1200 yards, but rather to be able to reliably range to 600, 700, 800 yards. If your LRF800 is already doing that for you then I don't see a reason to upgrade myself.

The CRFs are waterproof; the LRFs are not. The CRFs are more compact. Other than that, really no significant difference. Ranging capabilities are very similar.
