Question Airband Receivers

Wasn't sure whether to put this in Questions or whether I'd get a better response here - I reckon here, but no doubt I'll get moved if required.

Anyway, I'd appreciate some advice please. I'm thinking of getting an airband receiver, partly because I want to bone up my RT, partly because I want to listen to Stansted's ATIS on the way to my home airfield, and partly because I have a roof terrace under the approach to 27L at LHR.

I don't have a great deal to spend, nor do I see the need for a transceiver (not planning on making any calls), but I do want something that's going to work. Transair have what appears to be a fairly decent offering, and the Maycom AR-180 Airband Radio looks like a good bet to me (it's only £79), but I'm uninitiated; any views?

Ta muchly
