Who each one is better for
Honest persona fit, side by side.
Better for Launch Pro LPi (Indoor Edition)
- Space-Constrained
Photometric beside-the-ball footprint works in ~10 ft-depth rooms. Indoor-only positioning matches the constraint exactly — no compromise on the ranges that matter for tight rooms.
Better for iO
- Showroom
Trackman is the reference standard. The iO brings that ecosystem to home buyers at half the Trackman 4 price, ceiling-mounted for clean install. Brand cachet alone justifies the buy in some showroom contexts.
