Any opinions on the Orange VT1000 valve tester?

I'm a vintage valve amp guy, always have been. Over the years I have accumulated a number of old preamp valves, Mullards, RCA's etc. 

I also have some power valves which have been pulled from various amps during service etc.

On the face of it, this device looks like a must have, but I wonder how useful features like the matching ratings on this device actually are. 

When I buy a set of matched power valves from someone like Watford Valves, I expect them to draw the same current as each other (within about 5ma) when biasing them up. Does this device actually match on current draw? 

If anyone has any experience of using/owning one of these I'd like to hear your opinions.

Cheers,
Rob.
