Sure, the Wixey is a bit lighter but not by that much and the TLL-90S should be a lot more accurate (± 0.005° compared to ± 0.1°).
I initially set my incidences with the Wixey but when checking them later with the TLL i found a 0.4 degrees difference in one of the stabs. I usually measure both wings, then both stabs and start over. I do this 4-5 times to make sure i have accurate, repetable values for all incidences.

I`m sorry I was wrong, you are correct! that meter is 120 grams
I don't know why I remembered 60 grams ,that number is from another meter I have.
Now, I will buy one of the new meters Thanks for sharing.

Your setup looks very interesting!
