Ask the LBS if you can try it out on a bike there.
I own a standalone gauge that I never use because it is really hard to get any kind of reading out of it (you have to align it perfectly on the stem), and because the bike pump is adequate. The few times I have tried to use it, I end up leaking enough air on my road bike tires that am assured of needing to use a pump again.
