ECG—to integrate or not to integrate, that is the question!

My “slightly used” ancient ECG bit the dust a few weeks ago.  Went to troubleshoot and saw that support ended circa 2003…sigh. 
So I wonder if any of y’all have a little insight for a small primary care practice needing a new ECG.  The cost of the “integrated” solution (Midmark, WA, Burdick/Mortara, others?) is substantially higher (read thousands of dollars) than a stand alone machine with some basic interpretative skilz.  In the end, is it really worth integration?  At the end of the day, is the result really better?  You are either going to act on the data (and refer to cards, ER, etc) or not.  Does the form change anything, especially at the price?
