I agree.....every shop I have ever been to that offers Nitrox, also had analyzers available.
They all had logbooks that you had to sign after analyzing and labeling the tank(s) you were getting filled.
With that in mind; you would do just fine without your personally owned analyzer.
I also analyze my tanks prior to diving them, so I chose to have my own analyzers.
They are kind of expensive, so keep an eye out for used ones if you decide to buy your own.
I bought my second one here for $100. It came with a brand new sensor, so I jumped on that deal.
Keep in mind that if you aren't going to use it much...then it will just be an item that requires a new sensor every year or so. Those cost $75.
Use the shops analyzer, and then you won't have to worry about that.
Cheers,
Mitch
