I got the version with the glass tubing.  For the difference in price
it didn't make sense to get the cheaper one.

The objections to carb stix that I've been told are (a) they ain't
accurate, and (b) you can suck the mercury back into your engine.

(a) may be b.s. from someone who wants to sell me a $99 Yamaha carb
synchronizer.  (b) is claimed to be a non-problem by the carb stix
instructions, "... where it will pass harmlessly through your engine."

I guess I left out the objection that you always have to store them
upright, and thus they're difficult to transport on a bike.  Oh well.
