Flipping the wheel is close enough for the girls we go with. Well within 1mm accuracy just by flipping.
If I had a shop and was dealing with wheels all the time I would get one, mostly for qhality control on new machine made wheels, but for the home mechanic who trues every once in a while, its not necessary.
