Default Antenna analyzers, opinions please...

I've used Autek Research "RF" and "VHF" Analysts for some time and
they've served my purposes for antennas and testing.

Also Heathkit, Diamond (VHF-UHF) and Daiwa power output & SWR meters
in-line on coax.

Not so important if one uses a Tansmatch or tuner with them built-in.

Apart from the professional 'lab grade' (and undoubtedly very expensive)
devices made by the likes of Agilent, there are on the amateur market
several antenna analyzers that are more reasonably priced.

I'm currently considering the purchase of such a device, and so...

I'm interested in hearing opinions, pro-con arguments, and/or receiving
pointers to reviews of such devices.

All thoughts and comments will be appreciated, unbiased or not.

Thanks!
