It might be 4-6x the price but it's 100x as good.

Mr Bungle, in the end I took your advice and sourced myself a nice Black Star Meteor 100, which arrived today and I must say it seems to doing the job just fine.
It does show up the errors in the old vernier type of signal generators to be of alarming magnitudes.
Thank you.
