I dont even consider it that necessary at any ham or 2 way shop test bench,
Bird is still the standard and there are enough slug ranges available for
most any need.
OTOH those slugs add up in price if you havent lucked into cleaning out old
shops, estates, etc so the fancy digital gear can be more economical to
some.

That's one of the situations I had in mind. For general hamming, wattmeter
accuracy isn't usually important.

You left out one important item, some folks need more accuracy at the

I can only think of a couple of situations where an accurate wattmeter
matters.
Some amateurs seem to think that a given increase in their wattmeter
deflection --or a corresponding decrease in their reflected power--
corresponds to an equal S-meter increase on the other end of the QSO.
It just doesn't work that way.
