What performance do you need? Single tube or 96 well plate? Do you want 
to measure glow kinetics only, or do you need injection capability? 

Berthold make a nice 96 well injecting luminometer, which injects each 
well seperately immediately before measuring it, I had good success with 
that one. We also looked at a similar intrument by Packard, but this 
could not inject. On the other hand, it could be used as a beta counter 
too, which the Berthold could not. So it realy depends on what you want 
to do...
