XTZ Room Analyzer or something else?

I'm in the market for a room analyzer system that is easy to use and will cover full range. My system is two channel (two speaker) only but eventually I'll have a home theater set up. Is the XTZ Room Analyzer my best bet or other free ware programs such as Room EQ Wizard? I want to optimize speaker placement and acoustic treatments. Ideally I would like something easy to use and easy to use :)

Thanks,

Aaron

FWIW, I found the XTZ room analyzer pro II very easy to use. It quickly and consistently found a big room mode at 38Hz for which it recommended a -22db correction. I attenuated it down with a McIntosh MQ 107 (not quite all the way to a -22db, which made the sound too thin), and my boomy bass issue immediately disappeared in dramatic fashion. The A/B between the equalizer on and off and the bass issue is incredible.

I haven't tried any other room analyzer software or equipment but foundn the XTZ to be simple and to provide exactly the information I needed, so I thought I'd share my experience.
