I have a miller pro hobby. It works great, but the elite would be nice because sometimes I get in positions where I block the sensors. But when I do that I can just turn up the sensitivity and it doesn't matter.

I have a digital elite and a regular elite, the new digital elite is probably the best helmet available, 4 sensors, largest viewing area, and electromagnetic pickup makes sure you never get flashed.
