Compression Tester Options

In short , I'm in the market for a compression tester. What has everybody found on these? I found a new MAZDA OEM (not even made yet actually. They are special order) but they are $1300. Not really in a normal person's price range. I also found the Twisted Rotors (which to my understanding are discontinued) and they were about perfect. Good readout, accurate and decent price(350ish). Rotarydiagnostics has one (355$), but i dont like the graph readout, and i dont want the PC tether. Then i found the RTC-v5 (370ish usd) from rotarycompressiontester . It is within my price range and has simple readout, but there is no info on it that i have found besides a few random videos from the makers. Anybody that has any expirence with any of these testers, feel free to chime in. The more knowledge i have before committing to a purchase the better! Thanks guys!

Had a friend of one of our local RX8 club members come to one of our local meets with this one . http://rotarydiagnostics.com/

. Was easy to use and worked well. You use it with your own laptop for readout with supplied software. But you say you don't like this one. LOL
