any one try these and can tell me which one is better or more worth the money.

I have been using the Yardage Pro Tour for 2 years now and love it.

The yardage Pro measures from 10-700 yards, with 6x Magnification ($2500

The Pinseeker measures from 5-1500 yards, with 7x Magnification ($400)

The Pinseeker with Slope measures 5-1500 yards, with 7x and calculates elevation. ($450)

So hear is my .2 cents. If you are NOT interested in Slope, then you are choosing between Sizes. The Yardage pro Tour fits in your hand and your pocket nicely, the Pinseeker needs to be strapped in the case because its almost double the size. The Pro does everything the Pinseeker does except it only goes to 700 yards not 1500 yards. Personally I have never measured anything over 600 yards before, one because its hard to keep that still at that distance, and two what the hell are you measuring at that distance anyway.

Now if you are a walker the Yardage Pro is the way to go do to its size. The Pinseeker just does not cut the cake, to spend $200 more for the added 800 yards distance is not worth it.

On the flip side if you want to calculate slop or elevation than your only choice is to go for the Pinseeker with added slope for $450. Again they all do the same thing and are equally as accurate.

The only way I would change or buy another is if they make my Yardage pro with added slope, because the others are just too big.

Ooh, once you buy one you may never play with out one again, for me they are like cellphones.

The pinseeker is much more advanced than the pro tour. Much easier to hit targets. also the pro is only good to 250yds to a flag, were the pinseeker is good to 400yds. to a flag. Also the pro being so small its hard to steady. If you shop around the price difference between the 2 is around $120.00. I'm talking about the pinseeker without slope. The model with slope will still be considered illegal.
