Buying a scanner/spares

I've been fascinated by scanners for the past year or so, and I think it's about time I bought one.

Before I splash out what I consider to be a fair amount of money - I'd be interested to know if the Yupiteru MVT-7100 is a good piece of kit.
Seems to be up there at the top, with the range it covers.

Another question which I'm slightly unsure about is coverage. Does each and every sector in ATC have its individual frequency or are there some duplicates? (in different geographical areas)
Being in London, if I wanted LL Director, could I pick it up on 119.725 from anywhere, or is the geographical factor important?
I also often go down to see Aircraft coming in at 27L at LL, would I pick up the TWR from just around that location or is the range fairly big?


Just a tad confused at the whole system at the moment...sorry.
