The Leicas will give the best optical qualityand are overall my favorites. The
CRF Rangemaster 900 is a bit less than the 1200. The
Swarovski Laser Guide is also excellent but a bit bigger and more expensive, but has a longer maximum range than the Leicas. Besides these two standouts, everything else is similar in picture quality. I use a
Nikon 1200 which is a great unit, but does not have the optical quality you seem to want. A laser
rangefinder gives distance, and since it is not a unit that will be looked through for any amount of glassing, optics are secondary.
