Absolutely! I always take online reviews with a grain of salt, whether it's amateur radio equipment or a restaurant. I also take into consideration that some of the yahoos that poof their tuner and complain about it on Eham do it at legal limit power with a bad mismatch from the get go. Hey, what's that funny smell?

I don't know what you're planning for an antenna, but would highly recommend that you borrow an analyzer to check it out and take notes for tuning points. It's very helpful and a real time saver. You can do it without running power through the antenna, too. Good luck and enjoy your new toys.
