Looking for a simple to set up digital chess clock

Hi everybody, I am in the market for a new chess clock.  I really don't know how to handle digital chess clocks as I have always used the analog ones.  Can anybody recommend an easy to set up digital chess clock to buy?

The ZMF-II has to be in the running.  Even I can figure out how to use it.  Of course if you're used to banging buttons with captured pieces, there's a problem since it's got a fancy touch sensor.  And some folks hate the flashing lights during the delay countdown.  Every clock on the market has some good and bad points.  Lots of previous threads here.

Oh be warned.  Folks are passionate about their choice of clocks.  It's like Ford vs. Chevy vs. Mopar in hot rod circles.  So expect a bit of hyperbole if this thread takes off.

The latest ZMF-II clocks have the option to disable that flashing mode in the delay. Some people in my club just bought these clocks and you can disable that option.
