I don't currently own a SkyScout...yet...but the two are very different. Sort of like comparing a Planisphere to a star atlas. They both have uses, and both are excellent at what they do. The SkyScout would be a great tool for keeping people interested at a public showing while waiting for the sky to go dark, it would be interesting to mount a laser on one as a pretty cool addition (if the GPS was not upset). Another experiment would be to mount it on binoculars to make sort of hand held "go to binoculars" (again if the GPS was not upset). This would be great for finding planets like Saturn, Venus and Jupiter during the day. Binoculars would not have anywhere near the same amount of metal...fingers crossed.
The SkyScout is definitely creating a lot of interest though.
