Best ZX81 emulator?

EightyOne is still my favorite ZX81 emulator. Unfortunately version 1.0a fixes a few bugs but introduces others (the "Load Block" window gets stuck), thus I keep both and choose between them depending on what I'm going to do.

Does anybody have a better suggestion?

zxsp emulates both the ZX80 and ZX81.

Thanks Einar, and thanks for the link to v1.9 1024MAK.
I don't have anything cool to put here, so i'll just be off now to see a priest with yeast stuck between his teeth and his friend called Keith who's a hairpiece thief...

I recommend EightyOne v1.9 as well - works great on MacOS using Wine (in fact I do all the zx81 screenshots using EO)
