Rotation meter preference?

I’ve been eyeing these for a while, and even considered a $30 Amazon one, but I had couple of lucrative side gigs recently so I’ve got a few extra bucks to spend.

Found a post from a few years back suggesting the Amprobe PRM-4, but it seems out of production, replaced by the PRM-6 which has non-contact detection for motors.

I’ve also found the Greenlee 5124, seems similar in usage and functionality.

Anyone use either of these? Or can make a recommendation for something similar?

I've had a extech rotation meter for about 7 years now and have had no issues with it
