I'd say you're definitely down the right path.
It's quite surprising how few people seem to have chrono's, or even that they understand what they're used for.
Every time I use it at the range at least three people come up to ask what it is....and the rest are probably just not outgoing enough to ask the question.
They're really not very expensive (the price of a single stage press), so I do suggest you pick one up. They really are helpful for working up loads.
