That may be your "fact" Dave. For me, the UNI-Sync is super quick/easy. Takes almost no space in a tool box, and no dangerous mercury.

There is no mercury in the Carbtune so you just have to get a bigger toolbox and you could try it and have a opinion on it, i did and its easy to use

I have a uni sync, I don't need an extra sync tool. Not that it's not good, just I have a great one already.

I have a Uni synch, no doubt its a good tool and a must have but I have used the Manometer on 4 strokes what an easy tool to use and what a nice fast and easy improvement to engine performance , a Triple set up for a Manometer would put that Uni synch way back deep in the tool box

In the end, they all achieve the same thing.
I've tried a Uni-syn but ended up buying a synchrometer, I just found it easier to use because it doesn't effect idle.
Space is almost non existent behind the carbs on my bike so it's still a challenge getting a proper seal for the unit though, which makes me think that I might opt for installing the fittings on my carbs for a manometer... no better way to know for sure what tool works best for you until you try them yourself.
As already mentioned, many ways to skin a cat, and I just sync'd my carbs mechanically over the weekend just for an experiment... They are as about as close as I could possibly get them at the 1/2 throttle position so it will be interesting to see how consistent the temps are.
I'd say this method is the least accurate because of other variances in porting, pipes, timing etc. can be compensated for using actual flow.

What tool you going to use to measure temps I need one of those ...

The cheapest sensor out there that replaces the spark plug washer. They are not good for saving pistons but very accurate or measuring heat soak.

Neat never seen that before, just one or one on each plug

Andrew,
No info on manufacturers site; does it use an internal battery or need 12V power from the bike?

One sensor per plug and they use an internal "watch" battery.
I have mine setup to show current temperature and max temp. The sensor resets max after it's cooled below 150 then rises though that point again.
I should note that the link is not the correct diameter ring for our plugs, it was just to show the type of sensor.
