Would you buy a PAR Meter?

Hello,

I work at one of the big online aquarium stores. I wanted to know if an online store carried a meter/monitor to measure PAR(photosynthetially active radiation) for about $225, would people actualy buy it. As an aquarist, I definitely would find a use for one. I will be able to tell when to change my bulbs out, a way to see which ballast works better. A great way to see if the XM Metal Hallide bulbs you bought works better than the Giesemann bulbs you paid an arm and a leg for. You can even tell if the luminarc reflector you just bought works better than a regular reflector. There are so many meters out there but most are over the 1K barrier which most of us rather spend on our corals. I personally am curious if people feel the same way I do. Thanks in advance for your answers!
