The problem with most CW readers I've tried, or heard of is
1. The received code has to be with proper spacing and character and element
durations
2. A fairly strong signal, otherwise the reader gets confused

They work well on strong signals with good or machine sent code

IMHO The best code reader is between one's ears

Perhaps you didn't read the message? I mentioned:

Just in case someone wants to warn me against such devices: I read CW
by ear at about 15 wpm, but I'd like to improve my fist and I have
heard that the readers are good for that, as they only read well-formed

code.

I suspect for this purpose, they are all equally good as they will be
reading the sidetone off your radio and not have to deal with the static,
QSB, QRM, etc of an over the air signal.
