Save yourself a lot of time and visit eBay.
Most of it free postage.

Not any more - you pay what the seller can get away with - price is no longer an indicator of quality.
Watt meter as mentioned - $10 to $45 online - the $10 one is the same as the $45 one.
Bought a MPPT controller at a 4wd show - $95 - online same thing for $30.
You no longer get what you pay for.

Often you can't tell if the cheap unit is the same as a more expensive one without disembowelling them both. Can't tell a book by ... etc.

You get what you pay for. I bought a pack of Anderson type plugs off eBay last year for a good cheap price. But I found the connections were not as good as the more expensive good brand name ones. When you look into the plug the connectors sat low so when you plugged another one in the connectors did not force against each other to make a good strong connection. I tried to get them to work but gave up and went and bought the good ones. Live and learn. Kevin
