Two hundred bucks just to set an angle faster? My old school protractor works fine, it just takes an extra minute. Crown molding is tricky but that's a steep price for a little time saved.
Used to swear by my old speed square until I tried a digital protractor on a crown moulding job last month. @milacarr you're right that the cheap plastic ones get the job done, but having the angle readout instantly saved me from re-cutting three pieces. Definitely changed my mind on the whole thing.
