    Jared,

    Unless you can get a hold of an old C.Plath with the adjustable bubble,
    don't waste your money on the expensive "professional" bubble attachments.
    You are better off spending the $49.00 to get the practice level which, I
    suspect, is just as accurate as the more expensive bubble attachments
    (except for the aforementioned C.Plath attachment).

    I believe that Mr. Gebhart came into a few dozen of the old C.Plath versions
    and offers them in his catalogue. My advice is to snap one up if you can.

    Robert
