Just got the cheap ebay one and it looks nice and seems to work great. The only problem was the shipping seemed to take forever. Maybe since it came from China.

I got one that is ATC and LED lighted. Really like it, even if it did come direct from Hong Kong.



I did have one small problem with it thus far though. One of the screws that holds the pressure plate to the body (hing screw) came out while I was brewing and got lost. So naturally I was pissed, but I wrote to the guy at Gain Express and he sent me two more, free of charge. I guess this time a little lok tite might be appropriate!

Thats pretty nice. I've got one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/32-ATC-Portable-Brix-Refractometer-Fruit-Juice-wine-N_W0QQitemZ310039914429QQihZ021QQcategoryZ31483QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and honestly I think they're just the same as the ones the online homebrew shops carry except marked up 200-300%.
