a series of articles on conductivity in an old batch of TFH mags 
convinced me that i should replace my strips and color changing 
liquid color comparison tests with some decent electronic meters

my budget allowed for a pH meter and a TDS meter

well, i never found the last of the articles in that series, but 
remember that their author spoke of TDS and conductivity almost (not 
explicitly) interchangeably

i'm sure there are clear distinctions, but my question is this:

is a true conductivity meter going to tell me enough new data (beyond 
my TDS readings) that it might warrant another $$ investment?

i guess what i'd be looking for is something like a FAQ on how to get 
the most out of  a conductivity meter.

anyone?

Bueller?
