Rhory, I would say: yes! you need the vacuum guage to balance and set the carbs perfect. Easy to do.
Get a set from carbtune. He may not far from where you are (in belfast).

Got this done today and they were off but not majorly and after about an hour we had them balanced up to close to perfection, off the idle is very good now.

£57 delivered for a precision made tool that will last a lifetime and will work with any bike that you can balance?

Plus they total cost gets cheaper everytime you use them, they easily pay for themselves with 2 balances to what you'd pay for a company to do it.

True, but if we can get a group buy discount, why not? It's win win for everybody.
