is this a good one?

where can you get the best price on clocks too?
thanks
The Easy Plus Game Timer does have a delay feature, but neither the Easy Game Timer nor the Easy Plus Game Timer has multiple time control capability. (On the DGT web site (link below), you can read a pdf of the manuals and features.)
BTW, I haven't actually used one of these yet, so I can't comment on the quality or user friendliness of the clock.

I also have the Excalibur GameTime II, and I'm happy with it. (Although I recognize that the Chronos is getting more popular.)
To irontigran, if you want more opinions on various clocks other than the DGT that you linked to, here's a link to a USCF forum where they had a rather long discussion on the subject:

Originally posted by no1marauderI agree. I got a Chronos and love it. I went for the push button version. I prefer the sensation of a button going down. We'll see if I feel the same way if an over zealous opponent ever breaks one of the buttons.

Wholesale chess was the cheapest place I found. They have a pretty good selection of clocks.
