What torque wrench to buy?

Ok so I am getting a CF framed bike with lots of CF bits (fork, seatpost, soon to be bars) and in the interest of not throwing my investment in the toilet by overtightening something I want to get a good torque wrench.

I think I am going to get the Syntace unit or maybe the Pedros. Any thoughts on these or something not branded by a bike tool company? I have looked on sears.com, lowes.com, mcmastercarr.com, and harborfreight.com for other alternatives but nothing there seems to put me in the range I want to be in for torque unless you spend a ton.

I am looking to spend $200 or less...what is the best option out there?
