What I like about the Annie-USB is that it comes complete with SMD
grabber clips that optionally would cost some extra money.
If you have the time go to www.janatek.com/annie-usb_main.htm. It
retails just below $500..My only concern thou is that it s****ts only 8-
channels. However they have a nice little article on their website
about evaluating logic analyzers and I must say that I agree with this
article in that I will rather buy 8 'good channels' with sufficient
buffer depth than 32 channels and anyway not be able to use them all.

The faq article is at:

I've talked to some people and most of them said that I should opt for
sufficient buffer depth. What is the feedback of those happy okes
using logic****t?
