I had a windfall five and a half years ago and got one and thought that
maybe my camera would not be in perfect calibration or something like that
and that I might regret it for that or a variety of reasons.
But found it amazing how often I nail the focus right to the millimeter.
Sure I miss my focus sometimes but the thing just works.
I made a bunch of 16x20s and sent them out to people.
Seldom missed my focus. Amazing!

Its the way it picks things out.
And can do so in very low light.
Very very.
