Most of the hardcore rotary guys are tinkerers with a little bit more mechanical inclination.
Most of us aren't riceboys or buy our cars just to look good.

MAP sensors are getting cheaper and cheaper every day...
μP's are getting more prolific - check out any of the Ardruino stuff out there.
Most have the skills to build their own systems.

Then you got the cheap-asses who get away with a basic compression gauge...

You're right - trying to make money off the rotary crowd is too small.
Either you have a niche product that costs a LOT, or you *TRY* and make slim profits off of little stuffs.

Until another TURBO rotary sports car comes out, the sales are limited.

I've always used the best products out there and some of the shit on the 'market' is simply a reflection of the customer base, be that dog shit apex seals for $300 or nintendo game boy compression gauges powered by portable dildo batteries !

When my OG unit dies I would consider ones like this (if still around)..

This is the one I currently use, been with me for 10+ years and its great! corrects to cranking speed and can log too if you need it, switch units on the fly and works on piston engines as well with long reach sensor to get inside twin cam heads.
