chakster, in your location i would check for one of the top Sony's also. 777es, 7es, 990es (555es), all fine quiet mechanisms, full calibration, auto functions, durable heads but no reverse and no red displays.
Metal Master was the best metal tape manufactured but rather expensive and heavy and came in metal box.
I regret selling my 990es back in the late 90's.
