Rat Shack SPL meter: Analog or Digital?


I decided to buy a Rat Shack SPL meter (to test the frecuency response of my speakers and subwoofer) but I'm not sure which one, the analog or the digital? Robert Harley suggests in his book to buy the analog one but he does not explain why. Is there any reason to choose the analog one over the digital one? or it does not matter?
Thank you for any input.

When I was demoing audio gear, I considered buying one of these to allow me to do a more fair comparison -- apparently it is very hard to set gear to identical volumes, and the louder gear sounds better.

I was told elsewhere, though, that the accuracy of the meters is not good enough to help in this project (I think it's +/-2db?). Is that the opinion here also?

Thanks,
