It depends what you expect from a meter.
External coupler is a plus.
Personally I prefer cross needle meters. Easier to spot, than blinking digits.
Probably I would buy it some day, but shipping, tax and customs fee kills the deal.

I wish it had an analog display.
But the concept of a 'vector wattmeter' is really cool. Had a long talk with Larry the year he introduced it. He was very generous to take the time explaining it. The accuracy should be as good as any other wattmeter out there.
The ability to display the antenna's reactance without first unhooking the radio to read it with an analyzer was a breakthrough at the time.
The only barrier for me is the price. Still rely on Bird 43 meters.
Probably a "devil you know versus the devil you don't" sort of thing.

Now Three...
DAIWA CN-801-HP3...and now 901-HP3...my choice for good shack wattmeter.
All the Best

If you connect the power supply it is a true Peak reading meter. A lot easier than calibrate, read, adjust, re calibrate, and read again.
No like this one and here is the newer 901 for $139.00->https://www.gigaparts.com/daiwa-cn-901hp-swr-meter-1-8-200mhz-20-200-2000w.html

I guess I'm #5 then. Love my big cross needle.
