What ended up happening when you used the cheaper stud finders? Did you miss the studs and end up with extra holes in your walls?

I would get unreliable readings about where studs started and stopped. Even with tape horizontal and marking the positions it'd still be a "general area" of a stud. Ended up with a few extra holes because of it.
