The Sybon seems to be very popular. I've had one for a couple years with no problems. Just make sure to calibrate it with a good Salinity solution; Pinpoint makes some. Don't use the water that comes with it.
Premium Aquatics as well as many other online retailers sell it. http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merch...Category_Code= |

I got mine for pennies on the dollar on Ebay, got it from the seller Greatdel for only $20 including shipping and it works great, and is surprisingly durable and high quality.
Here is a link to a current auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Salinity-Salt-Re...QQcmdZViewItem |

that is cheap! looks decent quality too. the one i had was off ebay as well but from a canadian seller... it was great, but after 4 years, some reason inside the lense part, the magnifing glass part popped off... still works but i gotta shake it a little sometimes to get it back in place
