Golly, Jim, I was not calling you a cheerleader.  The word 
"predilection"  only means "tendency to think favorably of something in 
particular"  so it seemed sorta misplaced to specify what is the best 
fit for your needs, within your budget, when I was asking what might fit 
MY needs within MY budget!    ;-)

I was disappointed you would recommended such an expensive, lab grade 
meter, and favor us with an explanation why the W2 meter would not be 
suited to the task.

Oh well..  just to follow up, I find the W2 meter is proving an 
excellent choice,  and is plenty accurate for my needs.  I like the 
handy SWR alarm/amplifier cut off switch, which should prove an extra 
measure of safety with my remote tuner at half the cost of the LP-100. 
  I like having the best gear, but I doubt if I need a lab grade 
instrument just to tell me if the amp and tuner and all are doing OK.

Happy trails.   Problem solved.  I like my new meter which fits the bill 
in my shack, and (almost) met budget.
