Tiller auto pilots

My old Tillerpilot went the way it should have travelled long ago, and I amlooking to purchase a new tiller autopilot. My problem is the conflicting information put out by the chandleries as to what size and displacement each unit is designed for.
Of course, I want to have a reasonable cost,but I can''t see spending money for any particular unit when the next smaller unit would have been perfectly satisfactory.
I sail a 1966 Pearson Coaster, 30 ft LOA, displacement of 9500 lbs. She has a slightly modified full keel and can have quite a bit of weather helm in a strong breeze.
Can anyone point me toward a source of good comparative information on tiller auto pilots?
