I have to parrot the "non issue" part of this.  I have several SWR  
bridges/meters.  They rarely agree about anything.

Accuracy is probably no better than +/- 5% AT BEST on any of them, and  
there are many other factors that come into play.  So you can easily  
be way off from one indicator to another.  The only thing that matters  
is whether or not you can read close enough to tune to a match  
condition -- auto or otherwise.  Beyond that, it hardly matters and  
likely isn't worth the bits being transmitted on the subject :-)
