Well, I just received the Cronus, it's got some weight to it, I really like the reticle, and at 150yds I can easily spot .22 holes in a dead tree I use for testing my wind calls for practice. So far I like it and I was able to get a clean enough picture I could see the screw heads in the posts of my neighbors (white) deck at 600 yards. For the price and reticle, I think it will suit me quite well. Only reason id see getting a higher msrp spotter is either for more magnification, or just a good price on a used model. Overall I'd say 8.5 out of 10.
