I concur - having used a 470 for the last 10 or 12 years, and now owning a 467, you can't go wrong with either. Can't speak for the other two, but given B&K's track record, they are probably first class CRT checkers.

BTW- the updates for the most recent models used to be on the B&K website, but they have disappeared. Anyone download one in the past they'd like to share?

Cheers,
