Need a good tuner and there aren't many?

I'm looking for a really nice tuner. Fanfare, Day Sequarra, and Magnum Dynalab are all good and a bit pricey. The FT-101A by Magnum Dynalab is about what I was needing but I was wondering if there are any other modern ones or older that are worth checking. It doesn't seem like there are many choices in the modern/new tuner arena for what I'm needing. I heard the Dyna-FM3 when properly running are one of the best period at a quite affordable price. Some of the older Mcintosh seem quite desireable but I don't know how much of there being wanted is due to their sound and how much due to the heritage/name. Any opinions on stuff under $1000 that offers very, very, very good performance while not the ultimate would be appreciated. There are no dealers in this area who can help me. Thanks.
