Why waste money in a Taylor test kit. I just go and get my dealer to test my water weekly

My dealer has some kind of computer program that does the test, and when I asked about the Taylor test kits, they told me I would get more accurate results with the Taylor test kit than I would with their fancy equipment.
I compared the bio guard test with another dealer in my area and there machine was very close to the bioguard. They also used the drops which I believe was the Taylor and got similar results.
So then why not just get your own test kit? I can't imagine having to run to a dealer every time I wanted to test my water. And what do you do when you've changed your water? How do you properly balance your water without having a way to do your own test?

Does the test kit have instructions on what to do to adjust the water once you get the readings on PH, TA and chlorine?
You all have talked me into getting the K-2006. Was going to order it from Taylor so I get a fresh/new kit. Price is $88.15 plus a minimum fee of $100 to protect it from freezing - if you want the protection (plus regular shipping charges). It comes from Maryland, so I think chances are it would freeze before getting to Seattle. Guess I'll but one from a local dealer tomorrow. I guess a kit that freezes is no good.
