Swing Analyzers, Where are we now?

[Rusty]

I would like to get a swing analyzer so that I am more aware of what happens when I hit a great/bad shot.

Has anyone had experience with the more recent models?
I am interested in swing path and face angle/dynamic loft.

The internet has lots of reviews, but I can't really tell what is generated by real people and what is hype/bull from shills for the various companies.
The Zep has some positives, but I don't see how you get face angle (open/closed) with something that attaches to your golf glove.
The Blast looks promising but it doesn't seem to have any current reviews.
Golf Town has the Garmin Tru Swing, for a good price but it doesn't seem to get great reviews.

Anyway has anyone used any of the analyzers and are they useful for swing improvement.

the following old review is accurate based on my experience.

I'm getting a swingbyte once the android software for "coaching" is available.

Thanks for the replies.

I ended up buying a Garmin Tru Swing at GT on sale.
I used it in the fall, it works well enough, it is a little picky for alignment but otherwise I am happy with it.

I have been using it at the indoor simulators over the winter. It is in agreement with the simulator most of the time and only off by a bit when it doesn't agree.

Honestly the trick is to use it all of the time when practicing, and I am not all that good at sticking with it. I really plan to use it this spring to get my swing speed up and my path better.
