I agree with Said here. The problem with the 5370B is really in the processing it does, not the hardware, which is excelent for its time. I would use the 5370B for more static setups doing longer logging sessions, but for most bench-measures the 53131A is probably more versatile. Personally I use my 5335A for versatile bench-counter.
