99% of people don't need their wheels to have exactly the right tension. I've never aimed for a certain tension in wheels, but I use a Park Tools TM-1 to make sure the tensions are even, for doing this it is a good tool. Citation: ive built 20+ wheels for myself and others and never had a spoke break. No need to knock the TM1 to try and justify spending 400+ on a tension meter
