I have found that getting the dish centered correct that most truing stands are not as accurate as a dish tool. The dish tool is just easier and faster. Clamping in the wheel and making sure the truing stand has things centered is not to my liking. You can easily make a dish tool for almost nothing. All you need is a straight board long enough to cover the rims and then cut out center and add a screw in the middle. If you do a lot of wheels the Park is probably worth the money.
