I have had no Sat reception problems with my Vista HCx. Outside, reception has always been good. In my house, I still get good reception. Only time I had any reception problems was when on a train, the type with electrical overheads (it took a few minutes to lock on), but was ok after that.
The battery life is better on the Vista though. With 2900 AA batteries, I ran the unit for over 24 hours.
