Not even close. I've built hundreds of wheels on each, prolly >1000 on Precirays. A Preciray allows the wheel to be trued with a single pass, and the dishing gauge was brilliant -- hard to explain the superiority of the Preciray in writing. Each authorized Raleigh dealer in the late 1970's and early 1980's got a Preciray as part of Raleigh's initial dealer package. But it seems that people got spooked by it -- I was the only guy who figured out the Preciray in two different shops hundreds of miles apart, so I know there's some out there collecting dust.
