Best Mini Pump with Gauge? Turbo Morph vs Lezyne Micro Floor

Posts: 11
Hi
I'm looking at getting a compact pump to fit in my Dakine Amp 18L, with an accurate gauge.
Looking at 3 options
1) Topeak Turbo Morph G
Pro - cheaper and good reviews
Con - 32cm so slightly longer, possibly not as durable as Lezyne
2) Lezyne Micro Floor Drive HV ABS Pump with Gauge
Pro - Very durable and slightly smaller 30cm
Con - expensive and read reviews that said gauge jumpy and question accuracy
or
3) Using a digital pressure reader, possibly more accurate but sounds like a hassle.
Topeak Smarthead Digital Gauge D2
Pro - very accurate
Con - expensive and hassle using it, changing over pump and gauge.
Any advice on these pumps and digital reader, or if you recommend another pump.
Cheers
James

Use a track pump with a gauge at home, and a small emergency one without on the trail.I don't do smileys.

Got a Topeak mini pump with gauge. http://www.evanscycles.com/products/top ... e-ec033900
Gauge is a piece of crap - can hardly see it and it doesn't seem to work anyway. If I bought again I'd not bother with a gauge.
I use a digital Oxford gauge at home (and a car tyre foot pump) and just estimate it on the trails - as long as it's within a few psi I'm happy. Seeing as I hardly ever check pressures anyway they are probably way off what I think they are!0 -

Once you have one you won't know how you lived without it.0 -

Indeed. Especially as I currently have one of those real slow punctures on one of the bikes and every few days I get it out, forget about the puncture then have to piss around with the midi-sized Topeak.
Well recommend me one then...£30ish? - can use the £10 CRC code"Why have that extra tooth if you're not using it?" - Brian Lopes

Cheers guys, I'm going to get a track pump. And carry on using my usual pump and thumb as I have done in the past.
I'll give that a go and might get a digital gauge in the future.
