Get the meter.
i'm leaning towards it - i like bike tools (too many freewheel removers to count
) - shoot - i even sprung for a bikesmith cotter press (favorite tool btw though pricey)
tension meter and true stand have been on the list - already have a dish gauge
do u rec the park meter - obviously - they make great stuff
