Thought they were pretty much the same although the Leica warranty is not transferable.

they're both high end, just interested to know what you went with and why, warranties etc

also looking for the best price to get in NZ if there are any retailers in particular?

The Leica HD-B is quite a bit larger than the EL Range. Some prefer the optics of the Swaro and some the Leica. The latest version of the EL Range has a faster rangefinder than the previous model if you think that a few micro seconds count for anything.

The best prices I've seen are from Jacobs Digital in Auckland.

You really need to try both to see which you prefer. Everyone's eyes are different.
