Default Difference between MiniPro and motor Tester

I know that its two different things. Is the minipro just an expensive toy to have or would it help? The motor tester can let you change the amps? I'm just trying to figure out whats the actual difference and how it would help me.

The minipro measure actual power of the motor and current draw, but I don't believe they check timing or sensors. The motor analyzer checks the KV, RPM, static amps, timing, noise and sensor.

So it would be better to get the motor analyzer?

It depends on what you are trying to do, a dyno gives you the actual power output of a motor but you can still tune a motor for the most power with an analyzer and they are much more reasonably priced.

miniPro dyno is leaps and bounds better than a motor analyzer.

I bought the dyno so just starting to play around with it and trying to understand the gist of eletric motors. Maybe someone can help me.
This is the 17.5 slingshot at between 34-36 degrees timing.

If anyone has some literature or something I can read up on to tune motors, I'm all ears!
