Well I finally got it
The wife ended up getting it for me for our anniversary. Not only will it be with me on all my travels, but the added bonus of always remembering she got it for me. What a cool woman.
Anyway. I got the 360 degree international version. So, I should be good to go no matter where I travel.
Overall, exactly what I'd hoped. Rugged, all aluminum, very accurate, and very easy to use. I like it more than my lensatic style compasses that I have, because I don't have to hold it up to my eye. I can hold it at waist level with the mirror facing me, then simply look down to read the azimuth markers. Very efficient.
I'm anxious to use the inclinometer at some point soon too.
