You can do it yourself with an unbalanced L all on one tuning shaft at 1/10 
the cost and 1000% of the satisfaction of doing it.  There are 4 
configurations for above 50 and below 50 ohms--2 each.  There is a balanced L 
that can be made to work all on one shaft in a sneaky sort of a way.  I've 
found that smaller components can be used compared to other types of tuners.  
I used rotary coils and variable capacitors into a balanced L feeding 
balanced 100 ohm coax that were say 250 watt size and ran 1500 W SSB into 
them on 10M and they didn't even get warm or arc.  k7gco
