There are good of each and there are bad of each, just as there are pros and cons of each.
Most of the LFS in my area don't do water tests at all for customers, and most that do use 'quick dip' tests.
BTW, I still use a vortex, but only when naked![]()
To be fair, there's numerous stores in the Bay Area that do water testing and use kits like Salifert. Sadly, for the majority, your right though. One store charges $2 a test ($2 per nitrate, #2 for nitrite, etc). Stories come from that store like "I told them I had a new tank, but they tested everything anyways, and CHARGED ME" That dude got is phosphates checked on a two week old tank, and Silica :lol:
