I've never calibrated my system and I'd like to play around with this over Xmas. Which SPL meter do people recommend, something with UK availability?

Maplin are offering a digital one, code TB57M, for 35 pounds. The measurement range seems OK, but accuracy is given as +/- 2dB which doesn't sound very accurate at all to me. That's a 4 dB margin of error. If a 10 dB difference is supposed to seem twice as loud then this seems a bit vague. Any thoughts on this?

N.B. processor is 568 so I don't need to worry about an SPL good enough to be input to room correction!
