Digital Stylus Force Gauge: Which One??

OK, so now I'm in the market for a digital stylus force gauge The Music Direct catalog lists several choices in the $ 250 to $ 350 range from Clearaudio, Wally Tools and The Cartridge Man...as well as the ultra expensive Winds. Leaving the latter aside for now, would appreciate any input from users of the other brands. Particularly interested in the Wally Tools versions, since MD claims that these are the "only ones" that measure force at exactly LP record level....

Sc53 - you can order all Wally Tools directly from Wally M. himself. When I ordered my WallyScale from him (last September) there was no wait, and I got it in a couple of days. Nothing against MusicDirect (I've bought stuff from them several times and have found their service excellent), but if one is considering a WallyScale, I'd contact him directly and get the low-down on delivery time.

Sc53 - take a look at www.simplyblack.net/english/Wally/wally_1.htm

Wally's email address is: wwmalewi@aol.com. He can be reached at home (Minnesota) at (763)478-6685.

He's a great fellow, and if you do speak to him, tell him that Robert-With-Almost-Polish-Name said "hello"!
