Innova seems to be highest reviewed on amazon. Mine should arrive tomorrow.

Second, the recommendation, the Innova's are the best value for the money. If you are planning on doing more than just adjusting the base timing. Spring for the pro unit You won't regret the purchase.

I'm glad this was brought up with some people to back it up. I don't always trust Amazon reviews, I have had the innovia in my amazon cart for about 2 months now lol.

For another viewpoint - I bought a flaming river el-cheapo, it runs on 2 "D" cells. No bells whistles, doesn't need a wi-fi connection or blue teeth or anythang. It works just fine for curving a distributor, just have to install a timing degree tape on the balancer out to 50° or so. It was about $50 or so.
