Is the atlas cal as durable as the PSR? Apparently the PSR was upgraded with stronger non rotating legs?
Cal vs PSR

The CAL legs dont rotate and to my knowledge are the same as the PSR
The PSR got upgraded legs over the V8
I have both. Legs appear to be identical.
CAL has a wider stance, sits forward a touch further, and has no pan feature. IMO perfect for the bench and square ranges.
PSR is narrower overall And of course can pan. I generally grab it when hunting due to the lower profile.
Before getting a tripod I would run a PSR with 1/2” dowels as leg extensions while hunting. In this role I prefer to have the ability to pan.
ETA: Both are plenty durable. Customer service is second to none. So I wouldn’t worry if there’s an issue down the line.
My CAL is actually an “upgraded” V7 from one of the first batches released. If you can, get both.

Cal and PSR legs are the same. Only difference is the new Cal legs have four detent holes for the feet to lock into.
I had a PSR. It was a great bipod and I had no complaints. Then I got a CAL. Soon after, I sold the PSR and bought another CAL. For me, it seems a bit more stable, it meets all my needs, and I like not having the pan feature (which I didn't really use).
The PSR seems to be rigid enough on my 10 pound AR, but there was noticeable wobble on my 20 pound bolt gun so I got a CAL and it provides the needed rigidity. Some others have mentioned that panning a bipod leads to off axis recoil, and should be avoided. I haven’t had a chance yet to run this CAL enough to know if I really miss the pan feature.
