I've been using PT's "Port Flow Analyzer v3.0 Pro" for several years now, and I am totally satisfied with it. I use it on a "Blue bench". I also use PT's "Valve Spring Tester v1.1", and it is fast and accurate! Time is a problem for me, and their systems really speeded things up for me. I don't think I've scratched the surface as far as what all these programs can do. If I ever get a chance to catch my breath, I'd like to spend some time exploring all the possibilities.
I use a FlowCom on my bench, and it's actually redundant. PT makes a "Black Box" to interface the computer with the flowbench, and I expect that you could adapt it to most types of homebuilt benches. They are always just a phone call away if I need help, too!
My decision to use Audie's electronics on my DIY bench is no reflection on PT. It's a long dumb story that I won't go into here, but it involved a dispute with a third party, and my occasional hot headedness...
