Yes, this is a really nice logic anaylzer - we have it here in our company.
Especially the serial interface analyzers are very useful.
And with 34 channels you can debug quite big systems or memory busses.

If you don't need 34 channels the smaller 8 channel Saleae Logic Analyzer (cost 150$)
Is the right choice. The software is more intuitive than the software of the 34 channel
Analyzer and also the serial analyzers are here.
So for AVR and PIC design this smaller version would be enough in most cases.

For 50$ you can buy a clone of the Saleae that supports two additional clone modes 
from HongKong at www.iteadstudio.com .

Ciao
