Well, when try both you can make an informed comparison! One recommendation (if it's not the default in the Meinberg implementation) is to add the -M (I think) parameter to the program's "Path to executable" so that the multi-media timers are permanently enabled. This made a significant improvement to short-term stability, as Richard mentioned. Please check the documentation for details.
