Would love to get a look at the xfinder as above, not doing as many installs as i used to so cant justify buying one.
Bought a First Strike about six months ago and I would say its really good value for anyone doing a few installs a year but no where as good as my Satlook Micro that just needs a new battery pack (anyone got one spare?)

NIMH 12V/2400mAh if you google SatLook Micro Plus G2 HD Meter Battery you can see a pic, don't want to link as its a shop.

Wouldnt even know where to begin starting to build a new pack.

With some trepidation as it was fairly cheap, approx. £80 in UK, I bought a Chinese (I assume) SATLINK WS-6906. As it turned out my problem was that the whole Jaeger motor unit had twisted on its mounting pole. I set the motor at Thor, 0.8W, and twisted the motor assembly on the pole gently, and to my amazement found a signal again quite quickly, although none at all had appeared when I just motored the dish E-W. A little optimising manually, followed by recentering the motor settings has restored everything from 28E to 30W.
The meter not only gives signal strength and quality readings but also displays a picture so that it's easy to be sure you're looking at the right sat and transponder.
Not sure how easy it would be starting from scratch with a new installation but it was a great help in my situation.

It claims to, but I've got a V-box driving a 36 volt Jaeger mount. I used the remote for that to trim the position, and also the fine move feature in my DM800SE; it did mean quite a lot of trips up and down the ladder though.
I used the meter at the top of the ladder straight from the LNB, but because I have the V-box I was still able to move the dish easily. Presumably with DiSEqC you could leave the motor connected and plug just the LNB into the meter.
