Its good if you use multiple bands w/ the same antenna. I'm not sure what bands you use, if you only use the 11 meter band you probably won't need it. I purchased a MFJ-986 tuner off of ebay and it does a pretty good job.

I use a MFJ945E and if I can't tune a antenna with that I need a new antenna |
