[Neuroscience] Cheapest EEG analysis system?

[Hayder Hussein]

Good day,

I saw your informative reply in the email list archive in 2004 (pasted in the 
end of my email).
Does the situation changed from that time now?

I
 want to buy an EEG analyzer software. I googled a little bit and found 
BESA, EMSE , g.BS Analyze , 
BrainVision Analyzer 2 , WinEEG version
 2.83.42 (MARCH 10).

What is your opinion about these, what is 
the best in your opinion. What about others that may be I missed.
How
 is open source EEGLAB comparable with them?

Your opinion is very
 important for me!

Many thanks
