Just got my new pH meter today. An Anaheim Scientific pH meter (P771). It was kind of a snap decision, but it looks great and came with storage, and calibration buffer solutions. $69 from Digi-Key (+8$ overnight shipping):

It has automatic temperature compensation, but only up to 50C (122F). So the Phep 5 goes a little higher, but I figure you gotta cool it down anyway, might a well go an extra 10C and save myself $45 (once you include storage and buffers). Replacement electrodes are only $29 too, vs $69 for the phep.
I calibrated it no problem and I'll let you all know how it works on my next brew!
PS. For those not aware of digikey, it's an absolutely massive electronic components supplier, our company orders stuff from them at least once a week. They have stellar return policies and an excellent reputation.
