Try degreeing a camshaft with a .500"+ lift at the valve with a last word dial indicator. I'm debating between buying an indicator with a 2" stroke VS a 3" to use setting up the offset on my crankshaft grinder. Some of the cranks I work with have over a 4" stroke length, which requires offsetting the rotating heads more than 2 inches to get the rod journals to spin true. There's about a $75.00 difference in the cost of the dial indicators.

Yep, personal preference of brand and length of required travel for what you're needs are. That's why and how I accumulated so many over the years.
