Now I'm torn. ... When I can afford a new automatic antenna tuner,
should I get this one or the matching Elecraft one? Check this out:

The MFJ-993 IntelliTuner lets you tune any antenna automatically
    balanced or unbalanced - - ultra fast. Its a comprehensive
automatic
   antenna tuning center complete with SWR/Watt-meter, antenna switch
for
           two antennas and 4:1 current balun for balanced lines.

       MFJs exclusive IntelliTuner, Adaptive Search and InstantRecall
       algorithms give you ultra fast automatic tuning with over 2000
   non-volatile revolving memories. You get a highly efficient
L-network,
    wide 6-1600 ohm matching at full 300 Watts SSB/150 Watts CW,
1.8-30
      MHz coverage, Cross-Needle and digital meters, aural SWR meter,
   backlit LCD display, remote control port, radio interface,
heavy-duty
                     16 amp/1000 volt relays and more.
                     It learns while you're having fun

    As youre ragchewing, contesting or DXing, your MFJ-993 is
learning!
   When you transmit, the MFJ-993 automatically tunes for minimum SWR
and
   remembers your frequency and tuner settings. The next time you
operate
     on that frequency and antenna, these tuner settings are instantly
            restored and youre ready to operate in milliseconds!

        Each of two antennas can learn and remember over a thousand
   frequencies and tuner settings. They are safely stored in
non-volatile
                             revolving memory.
                    Highly Intelligent ultra fast tuning

MFJs InstantRecall first checks its memory to see if you have operated
   this frequency before. If so, tuning is instantaneous and you re
ready
    to operate. If not, MFJ's IntelliTuner algorithm - - based on
MFJ's
    famous SWR Analyzer technology - - kicks in. It measures the
complex
   impedance of your antenna. Next, it calculates the components it
needs
    and instantly snaps them in. Then, it fine tunes to minimize SWR
--
      youre ready to operate. Its all done in a fraction of a second.

   When the impedance is within its measurement range, the MFJ-993 is
the
               fastest automatic antenna tuner in the world.

       If it cant accurately determine impedance, MFJs AdaptiveSearch
       algorithm goes into action. Frequency is measured and relevant
    components values are determined. Only those values are searched
for
                             ultra-fast tuning.

    For even faster searches, you can set the target SWR to 2
(settable
   1.0-2.0). You can manually tune when you cant transmit (for
listening
                             out of ham bands).
                  Cross Needle and Digital SWR/Watt Meters

   Lighted Cross-Needle and digital meters lets you accurately read
SWR,
    forward and reflected power at a glance. An aural SWR meter lets
you
     hear the tuned SWR when you cant see or read the meters. Turn on
a
    highly visible, instant response SWR LCD bargraph when you need
it.
[...]
Yeah, how 'bout that...aural SWR meter built in...can't beat that with
a stick, eh?
