Does anyone have any experience with the above rangefinder?
I found one for $325 is this unit still worth the money or worthy of consideration compared to the newer rangefinders on the market today?

I'd put the money either towards a Zeiss PRF or Leica. I'd bet that even the $400-500 Bushnells would be better. I had the newer Swaro rangefinder and while it had great glass and ranged farther than my current Zeiss, acquisition time was noticeably slower. I can't imagine the first-gen Swaro being better. The Zeiss will range out as far as 1300 yards and quickly/reliably at ranges under 800 yards. I had a little trouble with it on gently rolling, snow covered terrain, but that was as challenging as it gets for rangefinding...plenty of opportunity for false readings with any LRF.

Reaction time is a factor...
