Thanks all, this sounds like good stuff - I've never seen anyone comment on DO meters for the average pondmeister like myself [although threads excape my search efforts regularly] and it sounds as if one can get away with a $200 investment. We should have a "recommended prodcuts" page for the average pondmeister...sounds like th YSI is everyone's choice for quality.
Now, will anyone think of a plausible version of the truth to provide the wife to explain the $225 charge on my CC? I will provide a free DO test at your body of water for the most convincing story.

TJ,
Are you coming to the convention in September? Lusk tells me it will be the mother of all conventions when it comes to hands on stuff like water quality testing etc. Heck I'm even going to set up an RAS there. And I here there will be onsite electroshocking and interpretation of data, aging scales etc.
As far as what to tell your wife? I'd tell her if your fish die you will be very very hard to live with. A meter will keep you on top of things to keep them from dying!
When I thought I had killed my fish in one of the ponds my wife told me later she purposely steered clear of me.
I'm not abusive in any way but I sure can get grumpy!
