Saw that too, so I bought a lite as well, because the Master was out of stock. I still want the Master though.Months ago, I clicked on the 'notify me when available' button for the Laser Edge Goniometer Lite on Gritomatic. On Thursday afternoon last week I got a note saying they were in stock, I ordered one ($76 US including shipping), and it arrived on Saturday. I notice that now, one week later, they are again out of stock.
If you've got some time, that's one approach.

Why? I have some stake in the answer, because I managed to talk myself out of the $800 CATRA, owing to a deficiency of funds, and only order the hobby one. What does the deluxe version do?Saw that too, so I bought a lite as well, because the Master was out of stock. I still want the Master though.
Ah. So does the $800+ CATRA device. It's the only difference I could tell. So I went for the cheap one.The Goniometer Master has magnets that hold the blade in place while you adjust it's position. It's much easier to operate.
