My advice would be to buy it. I love mine and couldn't hunt without it. If I were you I would hunt with somebody who had one to see how you like it first. It seems to me that people either love the thing or hate it. If you get one it will completely change the way you hunt.

I've had mine over a year and the only fault I can find with it may be the range. With the handheld it is around a mile but you can realistically expect to get 3 or 4 with the truck mount. With that being said when you start hunting with it you will realize that a mile is a lot farther than you thought.
