Chess Clocks?

Hello everybody!! I'm wondering if anybody purchased the Excalibur Game Timer II Digital Chess Clock. I just purchased one online and I'm curious if it's a good chess clock or not?

From my research, I've narrowed it down to the DGT 2010 or a Chronos clock.  I've heard that the Excalibur is ok, but the buttons tend to stick and it gets beat up rather quick, especially if you use it for blitz-type games a lot.  Who knows?  Let me know if you like it, I'm in the market for one as well.

I've done my research on the Excalibur myself and I've seen some good and bad reviews. From the bad reviews that I saw it seems that when people play blitz games that's where the problem is because as you know a clock takes a beating during those games. But I don't really play blitz so I won't have that problem. But for the price and it's the only chess clock endorsed by the US Chess Federation and the World Chess Hall of Fame. It can't be that bad. The chronos are pretty expensive. This is my first chess clock so maybe my next one will be a chronos. When I get my clock I will let you know how it performes. Thank you for your info.
