Yes, it's a bit pricey but compared to my previous 10x one this is a game changer. Well worth the price.

Case missing from box

The unit is great. However the case was missing from the box and I was asked to return the entire box & unit. It would then be re-sent to me. Ridiculous. A lot of trouble to get what I originally was supposed to receive.
