It is the best product you will find for $300. It's probably the most
widely used testing proxy today, and I highly recommend it for what it
is. As for the crawler, that all depends on your websites. Go
benchmark it on Wivet if you want synthetic metrics, but all that
really matters are how a given crawler works on your own websites.
For pure automation Netsparker is also cheap. Not useful for my needs,
but consultancies that do limited scanner-jockey work on the DAST side
of things get by with it.
Also the SF pen-test list is dead for modern appsec PT talk. I
recommend the OWASP or WASC lists. In fact, I bet this bounces from
the SF PT list because the admins still can't figure out how to deal
with gmail forwards on 40% of the SF lists. </amateur>
I've CC'd the WASC list for you. The Denizens can chime in,

I have budget for a web app vulnerability scanner, and I was wondering if anyone has opinions on the professional version Burp Suite with the scanner option.
Is the scanner any good? Accurate?
This is the website if anyone doesn't know what it is:
