Hi Reid,  (Wonder if we are far separated relatives, hi),

The B is a completely different unit,  even looks different.
Has three buttons on the front,  a red one for power,  and
two others labeled Gate and Mode.  The B model
measures many more parameters that the 259,  and
is well worth the price if you are interested in cable loss,
actual impedance's,  etc.,, etc.  Go for it!
