Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

Opera Reference Tube Tuner 1.0

Does anybody have any experience with this modern tube tuner? I want to buy a modern tube tuner and my choices are slim:

1. Opera
2. Jolida
3. Magnum-Dynalab Triode Series

Jolida seems like a reasonable choice but the tuner section is rumored to be weak and of very average quality. Opera is apparently a nice sounding tuner with perhaps a marginally better RF. Magnum appears to be a great choice, especially in the 106-108 range, but the price is prohibitive.

Perhaps a used 108 (not 108T) maybe doable. I currently own a very nice updated FM-3, but am not looking forward to stocking obscure NOS tubes and allignments.

Any guidance appreciated.
