Sinclair comparator or Forster Datum Dial?

[Sendit6.5]

I've got a Hornady comparator but I really dislike the fact that it's offset and doesn't measure down the center of the case- the jaw of the caliper sits off center on the case head or the base of the bullet. So, I was looking at getting a Sinclair comparator which doesn't do this. Then I ran across the Forster Datum Dial tool. It's considerably more expensive and I'm wondering if it's, in some way, 'better' or more precise than the Sinclair setup?

Don't mind spending $$ on quality but not everything expensive is worth it.

Played with it a little bit at the factory. It's super nice and gives you settings for every caliber. You can't go wrong with it that's for sure.

I use the datum dial and love it. What I dislike is it only coming with 1 base, which makes you switch out dials. So I bought an extra body. The forster dial with my mitutoyo calipers are some of my best loved tools.

I use the Sinclair, super simple and user friendly..Ray
