I know I'm not going out and buying and ETD right away, but I was wondering what size font the print is. ie. 10 12 etc.  Since I use the city bus system, the smaller ones woule be a better match for me ,but depending on the print.  I can see the red light on the spinner pretty well. Are they pretty much the same in price, tune lab, verituner etc.  I know the Acutuner III is in the neighborhood of 1700$
