I've had a color point for the last 7 years and liked it but interference was always an issue. It Worked good for me unless I was fishing in very deep water over 60ft for perch, I could barely make out the marks in sunlight, I Just sold it for $150 2 weeks and bought a LX 5 from reeds yesterday can't wait. I agree you paid too much or I sold it too cheap! I paid $360 new for my color point all those years ago.
