One problem with the Park is that it only goes to 60in/lbs. Most of the stuff I want to torque is right at the high end, making it very inaccurate.
Probably the most critical items are stem bolts at ~45ip, which is in the sweat spot of these types of devices. Even at 60 ip, your assessment of "very inaccurate" is incorrect based on my actual experience. It's only a bike after all.
