Default Lee Valley optical center punch

I was looking on the Lee Valley website last night for information on the
large saddle square I found in my Christmas stocking. While browsing, I ran
across their optical center punch. This gadget looks ingenious and might
solve a delimma I've always had - marking the exact center for drilling a
hole. I just got a new drill press and I get frustrated with having a
device that will drill precisely, yet I cannot seem to get it lined up to
start the hole in the right place. Parallax error is rampant when I try to
do this.

Does anyone own or use one of these optical center punches? At $29.95, its
well worth it if it does the job. Otherwise its a big waste of money.

Bob
