I'm sure this has probably been brought up not that long ago (and I might have been the one
to ask the question!), but the answers might be different this time, so what the hell. If
you were going to buy a decent moisture meter today, which one would it be, and why? If *I*
were going to buy one today, I probably wouldn't want to spend more than about $75, so if
your suggestions are in line with that number then so much the better... :-)

I tried a $30 one, and the pins broke off while inserting them into birch.
I now have this one:

You stick it in the wood then turn the dial till the light comes on.
For a bit more than your original budget you can get a mini Ligno. It's
a bit more convenient to use in that you don't have to do anything other
than push the pins into the wood.
As you go upscale you get the ability to measure drywall, finer
accuracy, digital readout, etc.
