From eham.net reviews:
I've been a longtime owner of MFJ antenna tuners, but bought my SA-2040 on 
eBay when the price was right. While it isn't as fancy as its big brother, 
the SA-2060 (no SWR/PWR metering), it's one heck of a tuner. While matching 
the storm window is nice, the real difference between this tuner and other, 
inferior tuners is its efficiency. It seems to put more fire to the wire (a 
center-fed Zepp in my case). Compare the SA-2040 to some of the roller 
inductor tuners on the market, and you'll find there's a reason the SA-2040 
and the SA-2060 sell so high on eBay -- they're built with quality components 
that work. If you can find one of these tuners under $175, consider it a 
bargain. You won't regret your purchase, and I suspect you'll get your money 
back out of it if you ever decide to sell it.
