I bought a Trimble Spectra LL300 3/32" in 100ft...it has been really good for us. It was under $1000 with the tri pod and survey rod...Thats in Canada too, in the states you should be able to get it for a lot cheaper...

3/32" in 100 is plenty accurate for what we use it for...If you do the math, a 48" Stabila Level with an accuracy of +/- .029*, would be out nearly 5/8" in 100ft...but also, a box level and a laser are 2 entirely differant tools

i use the hilti plm... it's small and accurate and it's hilti! any problems and it's fixed for free. it will give you level or plumb or cross hairs which are nice for a starting point on wainscoting...

At 1500 feet wouldn't you want to be using a theodolite/auto level?

just picked up a Leica Detector LLD2, works great with my PLS 180.

I couldn't find a PLS dealer in my city, so I took my pls 180 into the Leica dealer and we tried it there. About 1/2 the price of the PLS detector.

I have the PLS 90 with a detector and love it for layout. No faster way to get two perpendicular lines.
