It's priced decently, has a straightforward UI and doesn't kill batteries, mounts onto a tripod nicely, and reports velocity/RoF/energy in a format convenient for airsoft, so a lot of us use it.
You need to set your expectations though, because you will have annoyances, such as the "TOUT" message that appears 7 shots in a row because you're not perfectly aligned with the input tube or whatever.
That said, it's pretty much the best option for airsoft work, unless you want to spend at least double the price and get a serious ballistic chronograph.

What would your idea of a "benchmark" chrono be? I would assume that if most of us use the xcortech3200, and most shops/game organizers use it then isn't that the standard or "benchmark" of what we should all be using? Especially since it is airsoft specific. The chrono's that are priced in the hundreds are generally made for collecting data from real bullets.
As for the TOUT message I have seen it before onthe xcortech i have been chronoing on but have only seen it about 2 or 3 times over the course of about 300 rounds.
