Agreed, a decent bore gauge will probably set you back over $100. but, it's worth it.
I recently had the pleasure of using a professional gauge that is setup to read an I.D. It's set properly on size blocks and each line on the dial is .0001". I could accurately determine the out of round condition on a brand new piece of tooling that I had made. It was .000050". This was the accuracy of the grinding spindle and/or the slight change caused by the installation.
Such a gauge is about $1200. but, you get what you pay for.
