Mine goes up in a clinical setting, so I think having one that records (so they don't have to take my word for it) might be worth it.
Cheapest reliable one I found was $60, so this is about 2X more.
Personally I think in a clinical setting they are incorrectly wrapping the cuff around the arm. Most I've read the instructions for say to leave it loose enough for two fingers to be inserted under it which is quite loose. But they don't, they think that if they put two fingers under the cuff when they wrap it and then can manage to pull them out that they are good. However these automatic cuffs can squeeze the dickens out of ones arm and are painful. That'll raise anyone's BP. And on my wife these cuffs leave blood blisters where they've squeezed too hard in clinical settings.
I actually had several BP checks lately in the clinic, and the persons used the old style BP cuffs where they had to use a stethoscope and a bulb to blow up the cuff.
