Rigel for lightweight, small footprint applications, Telrad for everything else.

Anyone tried the new Apogee unitary finder?

They are both good finders. The Telrad should hold it's collimation better (as others have noted). But, I take mine off the scope and put it in my eyepiece box to keep it clean, and to keep from banging it, so it doesn't really make a difference to me. Peersonally I like the Rigel, but as I said, yo can't go too far wrong with either.
