We also like the Nanodrop. Very fast, no cuvettes (breaking, washing, cleaning, uh nitric acid bath anyone?), and the .ndv data file is a delimited text file. Open in a text editor, copy and paste into a spreadsheet, and you have a convenient record of all of your stocks, including date, sample name, concentration, and full spectra.
It is expensive, but so are good cuvettes.
