David,

I have use both the Teledyne and the Miniox 1.  I bought a Miniox 1.
If you are going to buy a Oxygen analyzer make sure it will analyze down
to one tenth of a percent or greater.  eg.,  20.9, 32.5, or 79.7 ...etc.
Some on the analyzers on the market will only show whole numbers,
eg., 21, 32, or 79 ...etc.  I know one of the models of teledyne will only
show whole numbers.

If you want to know why I bought the Miniox 1, I found that most of the dive
shops that did mixed gas blending in my area used the Miniox 1 on there
blending stations.  If these guys can tie up 30, 40, 50 thousand dollars
or more in a mixed gas blending station I think they can afford any type
of oxygen analyzer they want, Digital, Analog, Teledyne, Miniox ...etc.
and most are using a Miniox 1.   One other note,  If the dive shops in my
area are using Miniox 1 on their gas blending stations, I figured I would
not have a hard time finding replacement oxygen sensors for my Miniox 1.

Street Note:  Street Price for a Miniox 1 is about $130.00 brand new
(I paid $128.00 for my Miniox 1 brand new in the box).  Street Price for
a Teledyne is about $139.00.
It may take alot of looking around to get them at this price, but It can be
done.

BTW,
It cost me another $90.00 to build the flow meter setup with pressure gauge.
