Steve,

I like the idea of the wide matching range, but I don't want to spend 
over $1000 for a tuner.  Even $500, which is what the LDG AT1000 
costs, is more than I'd like to pay, especially when my old Icom 
works well enough on the bands I use most of the time.  Maybe I'll 
just wait for something to appear on the used market.
