The SV 114 P+C is a nice tool and comes with a good set of instructions if you get a good impression after breaking the curtain then you will not go far wrong however if you get a few slightly bent pins whilst practising with the tool this will prevent the pin and cam feature from working correctly and will throw you out.
I have never owned the staddon pick but have seen demos on it and it looks quite good I would wait until you get a chance to see both tools in action before you part with your cash the SV tool is not much use on the E series as levers from different groups give the same marks on the impression although I am sure there would be a way from pure feedback from the leveras via the tool. Good Luck

I own both tools and work as a warrant locksmith so use them all the time in doors not just 'on the bench' so to speak.

The SV one can be faster if you do not engage any anti-pick and you only have to change a couple of pins, but overall I find the Staddon is faster and easier to use and is much easier and quicker if you go in to anti pick.

So my first weapon of choice is the Staddon.

Hope this helps.
