Recommendations for a decent DWDM optical power meter.

I have been looking into DWDM light meters.
The JDSU looks good, but I see other brands out there.
Does anyone have some recommendations, things to look out for?

Thanks,

I should elaborate the JDSU OCC-56C looks decent.
Also any suggestions on basic OSA's?
We have a few spans with both passive and boosted light DWDM.

I've got the CWDM version of this, and it does the job. Haven't explored the test result downloading/archiving features (didn't expect them to work with Linux anyway) but overall it was very helpful for measuring loss across various passive muxes (where DDM wasn't available).

We have the Solid Optics DWDM and CWDM power meters. Simple, inexpensive
and works well ...

We also have a Solid Optics CWDM meter and it does the job quite nicely. It
feels solid (haha...) and is relatively cheap.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the solid optics power meter is just rebranded PPI?

Also what about a decent but reasonably priced OSA?
Suggestions?
