Any recommendations for a new PID VOC meter?

Currently our Dept. uses two MiniRae PID units for detecting VOC's at the scene for evidence collection to be analyzed at a lab.

Our older unit is in need of replacement as it is getting harder to source parts/battery packs for it. Rather than sending it in for its scheduled calibration and bulb replacement I'd like to purchase another unit.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for newer units and manufacturers? Accuracy, reliability, cost of calibration/bulb replacement and scrutiny of the unit for any court cases would be our top priority.

Being a municipality, our budget is tight, but I was just approved for the purchase recently.

Thanks for any comments, Jeff
