I have been diving Nitrox all over the carribean (Bonaire, Cozumel, Belize, Caymans, Roatan ~ liveaboard and land based) and have never had a problem analyzing my own tanks. As TSandM says everywhere seams to have their own system for the diver to analyze and record the info.
Learning a bit about the different analyzers available and how they are calibrated, how long the sensors are good etc... is a good thing as well. If you get a questionable reading or different readings on multiple tests you can always analyze an air tank for comparison. I would never dive a Nitrox tank that was given to me that I wasn't allowed to analyze myself and I have never run into this.
I would say if you plan on diving some remote areas etc it would probably behoove you to go ahead and get an analyzer.
