Bob,
I can't say I have a lot of experience with other tools. I thought using my
scanner was subpar and the DTP20 is a huge improvement upon that. However, I
haven't actually scanned a target (I guess spotread should work to read a
target of known values) to get an idea of where it's at in terms of
calibration. My batteries run out very quickly too, I usually use it plugged
in with external AC-power.
Regards,
Marcus
