You can go cheap or dear. If you go dear, the CED is supposed to be very good.
If you go cheap, go mighty cheap and get the Crony Alpha. If you can read the screen and write the info down, you can do the math yourself, and any other features are superfluous. The advantage to doing the math yourself is that it more quickly teaches a proper insight into the relationships between the numbers and actual projectile performance.
I got the Chrony Beta, and would get the Alpha if I had it to do again. Rather than extoll the reasoning, I'l just say that mine no longer works, and honestly; I don't miss it as much as I expected to. You will find your own reasons for needing or not needing a chrono; and I just hope you don;t end up getting married to the numbers, and can manage to cut through to the core simplicity of the process.
Finding that simplicity was my goal, and it's turned out to be a good one, for me at least.

Greg, thanks for the excellent post. My father and I only want a chrono to see what type of velocity our reloads are running. As far as the other stuff goes, well, we're just not <span style="font-style: italic">that</span> worried about SD, ES, etc at this time. I'll take a look at that Alpha chrono and that just might be the way we go.
Thanks!
