I really don’t know.  We have only used the cheap china one.
Truthfully, we need it 3 or 4 times a year.  It’s worth the price to just have 
it in the toolbox at $1k.

Is it better to get a new Chinese unit, or used JDSU, EXFO, Anritsu or similar? 
Are there any used models that are good quality and still would work well that 
someone can recommend?

We have a $1000 one from china. It works well enough.

We have located every fault we ever needed to find with it.

I’m seeing prices for about $7600, seems like a lot. I’m guessing you can get a 
cheap Chinese one somewhere, but are they workable or flaming piles of junk?
