Things can become gold standards because they are truly good, or because 
of weight of numbers, folklore and peer pressure.

Bird 43 etc are good at what they do - inline measurement, wide 
frequency range and power capability, portability, durability, price. 
Move away from on site installers and ham radio and they're no sort of 
standard at all. In my environment they're useful to indicate if 
something is working or broken.
