I don't know about the Ebbco, but I have both a Davis Mark 3 and a Mark 25. The 25 has pretensions to being a serious sextant--for $175. A couple of years ago the cover of Ocean Navigator showed a navigator taking a sight in fairly rough seas with a Mark 25. It's not that it's not accurate--just it takes a lot of fiddling with the mirrors to keep it in adjustment.
