Default Water monitoring

Has anyone out there heard of something along the Pinpoint series of monitors that measures everything? Well, not everything, but say something along the lines of the Hagen Master Test Kit?

I am so damn frustrated with the Hagen kit...... it seems the longer I have it, the less likely I am to believe what it's telling me. The coulor matchups with the sample to the chart are simply DREADFUL! (In almost every test) I'm tied of this, and if such a beast existed I would gladly drop Large to secure it's purchase.

Anyone got any bright ideas?

Never had much luck with pH test kits that made you guess a colour for a value, with Hagen probably the worst though did find Salifert a little better. Ended up just getting a pH probe and meter.

Ca, Mg, Alk is easy with Salifert or Elos as it's a clear change (pink to blue).

For NO3 still guessing shades of pink but switched to Salifert and again seem to find easier to judge than the Hagen.
