Freestyle Flash Meter

I have been using an somewhat older Freestyle Flash meter that my wife had gotten in her first pregnancy when she was running the risk of gestational diabetes (which she did not get). Anyways it seems that the Flash has been superceeded by a couple new meters, and of course there are other brands as well.

Is the Flash as good as the rest? Compared to the other freestyle line it uses the same blood sample as the newer ones, but you still have to code it which is not a big deal. I do all my tracking on a website (livestrong) so I don’t need trending or really anything but last reading recall just in case.

Should I look at any other meters for my future long term use?
