I use a NATO key, stock no. 5805-99-580-8558, which is basically the
same design as the Swedish (Petterson) key and available for a lot
less than $350.  For my taste the NATO key needs the return spring
tension reducing slightly - easily done by *carefully* bending the 
spring - and the click-stops on the gap adjustment are too coarse.
Quite a good key though.  See:
