Personally i use a floor pump with a built in gauge. Is use the same one everything and whatever the number is, it's consistent. If it drops a few psi when I take it off, it's always the same. And the number doesn't matter as long as it rides the way I like.
Back to the tire gauge and difficulty in removing some from the Presta valve - With the Meiser Accugage for Presta valves, I find it is very easy to apply the gauge and to remove it. It's much easier than the old Silca track pump head, and the dual head on my Cannondale track pump.
I don't really care about the accuracy, just ease of use. The Silca track pump matches the Meiser pretty well.
