Is this thermometer from Sweet Maria's accurate enough to use with a Scace?

It is a decent thermocouple reader for certain uses. It works well for measuring roast temps, for instance. However, it is not compatible with the Scace, because the Scace uses a type-T thermocouple, while that device is only compatible with type-K thermocouples.

adapter compatibility aside, living at sea level has made it easy for me to check their accuracy. My Thermapen read 212 consistently, however all three of my SM thermocouples read 213-214, same source, alternating boxes to eliminate deltas.
