Is this just a rebranding of the current 4500NV w/ applied ballistics? if not what is different from the current offering?

No, it’s a slimmed down version of the Applied Ballistics on the 4500NV, which is the reason they describe it as functional for supersonic ranges. The wind meter functions are the same, temp, baro pressure etc.I haven’t had hands-on yet but check back in two weeks and I’ll have more on it for you guys.
It’s a pretty good deal and will satisfy 98% of most anyone’s needs.
