Is the Argo Navis really that good?

I hope to god the answer to the question is yes,as I just conversed with Gary via email and have already placed the order for a AN unit.
I was "blown away" as I emailed Gary at 9am this morning(Sunday) and he actually replied--wow!

Im a newbie and have the typical l/p suburban backyard complete with anything in an Easterly direction blocked.
I have not travelled with the scope to better skies yet,but a trip out West is coming up shortly(cant wait).

I am very interested in finding dsos.

I am not into high tech stuff,but I hope this may be a useful tool?

Im having a bit of a hard time finding my way around the sky so I hope the AN will compliment charts/planishere etc and give me more time actually at the eye piece(as with most of us--time is at a premium)?

I based my decision to jump in around some of the comments in the "AN sticky thread"(and also reading bits from Cloudy Nights forum etc)

So--In the real world ----is the Argo Navis that good?

Any thoughts from any Ago Navis users out there would be appreciated!
Cheers-Eric
