OK fair enough, glad I am not one of your clients ha ha. Kestrel is the only way to go. The further up the series the more features. Maybe the boss should have a top of the line whilst the workers can get by on a 2500. When I was looking Kestrel was hugely expensive buying in NZ and I intended to buy offshore. In a moment of weakness I bought a cheaper alternative and have regretted it ever since, although I cannot fault it for functionality.
Kestrel seems to be the brand that the better ballistic programs will interface with. To future proof yourself your one needs to be a higher enough model to have blue tooth if communicating with your ballistic program is feature you want down the track.
