Just got a Helia in at work, and I need a new rangefinder. thoughts on this one? I know in riflescopes Kahles are top-notch, but I've got zero experience or feedback to go off of for their electro-optics. Initial thought was the glass is good, it uses a red LED which is good, and I like that it displays the actual angle you are lasering as well as compensating for it.
 
For archery, the angle/incline compensation is useful. For rifle, a true line of sight range is preferred.

Swarovski Optik (who owns Kahles) is the type of optics company that typically knows that it's doing and doesn't do anything half assed.

I bet their electro-optics are top shelf.
