I have evaluated and purchased the VMETRO card.If you are
planning to buy the product, I would strongly recommend
getting the windows based Busview software which is
an option. Working with their analyzer is a breeze. 

The only minuses: It's relatively expensive...
You have to also add in the cost of a dedicated low end PC with
windows on it. It can also work with a terminal, but I wouldnt
prefer working in that environment.
