I like my Intellitouch. I have the basic white model without the backlight--I don't do much playing in the dark, but I would agree that the backlight is probably worth it. On my guitar it sometimes doesn't hear the high E. But if I move it from the top to the side of the headstock it picks up that string just fine.

I really wish they'd come out with a model that uses a moving-needle meter graphic rather than those arrows. I resonate better with that visual image. Must be from my days as a ham radio operator, with the S-meter and VOM!

Aloha,
