Default Looking for advice/suggestions on infrared thermometers

I'm looking to get more serious in my powdercoating and realizing that a IR therm will really be necessary. Anyone have any advice or suggestions on buying one? Where'd you get yours, how much did it cost, what make model do you have? Cheaper is better but I dont want to buy a piece of junk. Any advice would be appreciated.

I just bought a cen-tech unit from Harbor Freight for $39. I compared it to my fathers $125 gun and it was dead on. Caswell also sells a nice unit for around $100, it's a much better, well known brand.

I saw Harbor Freight had one for pretty cheap and I have a gift card for there so unless someone strongly advices against it I guess I'll get that.
