In the meantime, I've been using a separate 30psi Accugauge for my mtn wheels. I've been pretty happy with it and it wasn't too expensive. It has a bleed button that helps you dial in the exact pressure.

Re:

I've had a Blackburn pump for about 20 years and been very pleased. The gage matches what my Topeak gauge tells me... I did swap the plastic head for a Hirame...

I have that one on my ebay search list. Reviews sY it's accurate to +- 1psi. If it's consistent, that would be great.

It's pretty slick. sort of loud, but dang nice to have around. Took a total of 5 minutes to convert mine to presta. Would recommend.

I have one and haven't had issues. It's pretty consistent. And you can switch them out on the larger gauged pumps to. You just end up with a gap around it.

He can sub in any of the 3 gauges using the quick connect on the pump.

Correct, did this when I got a fat bike and needed the lower pressure range.

You want a gauge that the pressure you want is in the center of the range. I use a Longacre gauge for my car tires at the track. Range is 0-60 psi. I don't see any presta valve gauges on their site though.

Here is a similar style with presta:
