Oh yeah that's actually something I was thinking too. One of my pumps is accurate up to 2 bar but then goes haywire and is 1 bar off at above 4 bar. Or isn't it depends on the mood the pump is having.
Hand held pressure gauges are one solution but how does one verify their accuracy? They're also somewhat delicate. I dropped my Accu-Gage and it went off calibration. Was useless after that.
With all that in mind I'd rather have a lot of safety margin instead of very little safety margin.
