I own lot of timers. I have nine of the CED 8000 and two CED 7000. Both are nice.

For matches the 8000 is good with the big display that is easy to read. Its big size and silly blue color makes it hard to "borrow." The 7000 is nice because it runs on rechargeable batteries and is small. But the display can be hard to read.

Both are top notch for me as you can set the mic volume up so it can pick up 22s and rifles with suppressors.
