Curious if you've researched the expected accuracy and variance of the cheaper products. 10 points is significant, and it's my understanding that even the brand-name stuff varies by a few points.

It's worse than a few points, Chris Hannemann did a couple tests with the same drop of blood across multiple meters, and the results varied quite wildly across them.
