Industry Standards

(OP)
I am a chemist by training and I'm delving into rheology of gels for a startup company.  I'm not familiar with industry standards for rheometers.  Is there a level of sophistication in the device performance that must be met to avoid ridicule from industry peers?  In chemistry for example, a 60 MHz NMR would be laughed at these days since 400 and 500 MHz instruments are readily accessible.  I'm most interested in a Brookfield DV-II+ Pro since preliminary searching has lead me to believe I would get "bang-for-my-buck."  However, my principle investors would like reassurance that this system would hold-up against industry scrutiny.  Of course I do appreciate that in analysis of any sort, a skilled technician can get reliable numbers out of very simple machines.  This is therefore a "broad-brushed" inquiry.  Thank You.  -Ryan
