Interested to know if anyone in the UK has yet bought or used a Bric4?

If so, how is it? Does it integrate with TopoDroid well? Were you stung with high shipping and import tax? etc...
On the face of it the device looks like an excellent DistoX replacement. I like the ruggedness and simplicity of normal use with just one button available normally. However for $850 it seems to unfortunately have priced itself out of most caver's reach. But i suppose if it lasts very well and isn't replaced by better tech soon, then maybe it's worth it?!? :-\
There's a quite good review of it here by Aaron Bird, although mostly concentrating on accuracy rather than usability or functionality.
