I can tell you which one not to buy....that's the Aedex unit made
by Welch-Allen.          

Anyway, I got 6 of these monsters for a client of mine and they
have been nothing short of a nightmare.

I have a long list of complaints and I'm not going to waste bandwidth,
but as of now I'm having to BUY THEM BACK from my customer as they
fail (which is pretty often) just to save my consulting business'
reputation.
