407 track and balance

RADS versus Microvib or some other system?
We use the RADS for 407 M/R track and balance and I want to throw it in the river. Tail rotors are not a problem. Rotor smoothing after major hub work makes me want to kick the dog. Anyone have any sucess with using a different system other than RADS on Bell 407's? We are looking for any input. If its not tracker problems, or garbage solutions that do not make the vibration levels better, its interference from the Air Conditioner, the Garmin GPS, the Transponder, etc etc. Looking for your input.

Besides the 407's we also have L3,L4, B3, and do work on R22,R44, Enstrom 480B. Looking for a system that could handle all these helicopters.
