So I have started to build my first set of wheels using the wheel pro guide and I need wheel truing stand. I have tried to build the one in the guide however i don't have the tools to make it properly.

I have kind of narrowed my search to a second hand Park TS2 like this one on crc

or the minoura wheel truing kit like ths one on cycle sport UK
http://www.cyclesportsuk.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1054

now the park one is going to cost a bit more and does not include the dishing tool like the minoura one, and realistically this stand is only going to be used every now and then.

Is the minoura one any good?
Is it likely to stand up to building the odd set of wheels and keeping my wheel true?
Is the park one way overkill for my use?
