[TowerTalk] Tuners and Matchers

[Lee Buller]

Hello Ladies and Gents....
 
I have been researching tuners to determine which one to obtain.  I have been getting mixed feelings about ... well ... just about all of them.  So, I an asking for opinions about tuners.  I currently have a Palstar and it is OK...but 160 meters suffers.  I also have a homebrew tuner that works, but....I want something different.  So to that end, what do people think of the following....(yes, I have read all the reviews I could find in QST and in Eham)
 
 
MT3000a
MT2000
TT238B
Nye-Viking
Heath 2040
Heath 2060A
Ameritron ATR-30
Ameritron ATR-20
MFJ ... well forget that
 
Bonus Questions....
 
It seems that the popular T-Match and the SPC Match is being challenged by the plain old L-Match (TT Model and others).  When I was a kid so many years ago, the best tuner for the old long wire was the L-Match...a cap and a coil and a bunch of aligator clips all mounted on plywood.  So, is the L-Match making a comeback in everyones thinking because depending on how you set it up, it can match from 5 ohms to 3000 ohms where the other are not that robust.
 
Comments please
