With the exception of Davis Plastic Sextant and the referenced Astra, I've seen references to the others, but haven't had the opportunity to take shots with them. That being said, the Atrra 111B, with split image mirror seems like a good bet. Also, from what I've been told by a couple of Kings Point grads I ran into, that is the brand used there, possibly they get a price on that brand. In any event, any navigational errors, problematic sextant shots, I've experienced were mine, not the sextants.
