Better than a handheld FRS for sure.
Just get one, trust me! I love mine. No worry about battery life, no worry about dropping it, it has the CTSS codes, and it is so convenient. I have half a dozen handhelds that I've accumulated over the last 3 years, but I only keep them as loaners to those that don't have 'em yet, and for use when I'm out of the X spotting or scouting a trail on foot etc.
