They are stupid simple to operate, the 4500 does everything you would need. They have one with a built in Hours Atrag now too.

Re: kestrel weather meter
I wanted density altitude when I bought mine which meant a 4000 at minimum. It is super easy to use and learn.
I got lucky and scored a 4000NV (not that I need the NV capability) on Amazon for 199.00 due to damage to the unopened package. Deals can be had there if you keep your eye on it.

Definitely get everything you need from a 4500.
That said, I run a 2500 in conjunction with a FDAC(field density altitude compensator). Since I shoot 175/8 308, the FDAC is my dope card, and it has a DA graph right on it. I calc my DA, slide the card, and there is my firing solution. Like frickin magic, the FDAC has been very accurate and I keep my gadgets to a min.
Even without the FDAC one can find a DA graph online.
Maybe not the perfect solution for everyone, but works for me.

4000 is plenty unless you don't know which direction is UP... North...South...East...or West

The 4500 BT is awesome, allowing my Android phone to automatically import the data into Shooter. Saves a LOT of time typing in the parameters.
