I used my TM-1 only to get the spokes within reasonable range and roundness. Once there I'd true the wheel without it and check again. If that last check was still reasonable I'd let it be. If I found some real outliers I'd tweak them to get back within range but even a 30% outlier was probably a better bet than trying to get them even only to have something else get out of whack. I haven't used it in a few years now as I'm done building wheels.
None of the wheels I've ever built for myself have given me any trouble and I ride in NYC. The roads aren't exactly the smoothest around. I think the last broken spoke I had was on a wheel I hadn't built myself. I went and rebuilt that one too and haven't touched it in at least 5 years if not more.
