Default MFJ-1026 or ANC-4

Considering one of these for Christmas, and would like any user's assesment
to help make the determination between the two. I've received mixed
responses regarding the MFJ model, and I'm curious if the ANC-4 is the more
favorable of the two. I'd be using it to eliminate some local noise from
nearby powerlines in conjunction with a Wellbrook ALA-1530, and a
random-wire as the noise antenna. Any advice, opinions, or recommendations
would be appreciated.

I have the ANC-4 and haven't found it to be useful with a Wellbrook. It
worked great when used with a long wire as the main antenna.

There are older threads that indicate you need a good noise antenna
(vertical J-fet buffered antenna) to get it to work well with the
Wellbrook.
