Just swapped my old cable tester for a fiber scope, wish I did this 2 jobs ago

Did a commercial drop in Reno last Tuesday and the copper tester kept giving me false passes on a cat6 run, turned out the terminator was bad but it read clean. So I grabbed a cheap fiber scope from the supply house, like $180, and started checking every connector before I leave the job now. It caught a dirty end on a new jack that would've taken me an hour to chase down later. Anyone else made the switch from basic testers to actually looking at the glass?
