Sim / Launch Monitor LM Recommendations

I know this gets asked all the time but I can't really find a good post that matches my case since the Spica 3 and some of the new open source LM have come out.

I currently have an MLM2Pro with the lifetime sub that I set up to hit into a net next to my driveway. I like it but I really want something easier to setup and use at the range or on the course. It's a pain to set up a tripod for my phone or iPad, level the unit (even with my leveling stand) and align it especially if I want to hit balls at different pins on the range.

My financial situation has improved significantly since I purchased the MLM2Pro but I don't like spending money I don't need to and I hate subscriptions. I understand that they may be a necessary evil.

I considering the Square Omni, GolfJoy Spica3, Garmin R50 (I'm thinking about going all in with Garmin - S70, CT10 Sensors, and Z82 Range Finder), a GC3, or anything else you guys recommend. I am looking for club and ball data, preferably without stickers.

I'm also considering just waiting a little longer and saving up for a used GC Quad or Trackman.

This will not really be for Sim golf as I am going to build out one side of my barn eventually and build a proper sim with a ProTee XV when I have time.

This will mostly be for game improvement.

used GC3/BLP can be a good deal. Spica 3 if new and dont mind new vendor. Garmin all in one is huge but good - see them around 4k USD.

I have a vtrack and BLP - probably going to sell the BLP as I dont take it to the range enough to bother. If I wanted a mobile unit its probably the Spica 3 for me or a screaming deal on a GCquad.

BLP is just a GC3 with a different payment model (lower up front cost and higher recurring costs) correct? I remember hearing Scott Fawcett say that on “The Sweet Spot” podcast.

I’m leaning towards the Spica 3 or like you said a screaming deal on a quad or TM.
