I found on the Signal Hound web site a copy of a review by G4DDK in 
September 2011 RADCOM (Journal of the RSGB).  Is that the one you are 
referring to?

https://signalhound.com/sigdownloads/SA44B/SA44B-IndependentReview.pdf

The only major complaint he had was that the screen update rate is slow 
for wide sweeps.  (OK for narrow sweeps)  He concluded:

    Overall I was very pleased with the performance of the SA44B.
    If I didn't already possess a good spectrum analyser I could be
    very tempted to buy one of these. The TG44 is perfectly useable and
    has excellent frequency coverage.

(The TG44 is the optional tracking generator.)
