I built one of these a couple of months ago and am very pleased with its performance.  Using my K2/KAT2 as the SWR meter I have found it to be a good SWR 1:1 match from 80m to 10m into a 200ohm load.  In practice, I am using it with an OCF dipole 20m long and have found a "before" ATU SWR of between 1:1.5 and 1:7 for all bands from 80m to 10m.  My KAT2 then takes care of the residual SWR.

At $15, its a lot cheaper than a commercial 1:4 balun.
