Default Dynamometer

I have been looking around at Dynamometers and there pricings.
So far i have looked at DynoJet, Mustang Dyno, and a Dyno Dynamics. From a little bit of research it seems like DynoJet is the more "accurate" Dyno.
Heres what i cant seem to understand, i was looking at the DynoJet 224x and that is $22,500, the Mustang 250 Dyno is $32,250, and the Dyno Dynamics 450 DS is $42,500. They all are 2wd dynos and come with someone to teach me how to learn how to use it for 2 days.
From the spec sheats they look very similar but the costs is a huge difference! Lots of people on here always talk about "DynoJet DynoJet..." when they costs less. All three brands come with the same equipment also. Can someone help me out here?

from my understanding, the Mustang dyno is more accurate than the Dynojet(between 10 and 15% difference) for example, my car put down 326 and was tuned on a dynojet but then i hopped on a portable mustang dyno and made 306, this was within a month or so, so the car didnt change at all. i can't help ya more than that. you get what you pay for...lol

the mustang and dynodynamics have load control for that price, the dynojet does not.

If you want load for your 224xlc, your talking a lot more money. ($20,000+)
