I have the Dick Smith and one from Shells Electronics. I actually like the Shells meter better. It does cost a little more, but has a meter on it instead of an LED readout. Also, I'm probably more used to it, as I've had it a little longer. The ESR meters are great, but they can cause you to chase your tail, just like any other piece of equipment. If the cap checks bad, it is. If it checks good, well; you know.
