If you're wanting to save money by doing the carb balance yourself then buy mercury gauges. They may be more expensive than the other gauges but you're already saving on labour costs at a workshop. So buy some good one's and look after them.
If you've got the cheaper dial gauges you do need to sync them together by using one carb as a bench setting for all four gauges. It is the most accurate way you're going to get a proper reading. Even with mercury gauges it is advisable to do the same to double check that each gauge is giving the same reading as it can point to leaks in the tubes etc.
