I now use the Chorev Tikkun and with the Simanim Tikkun on the side.
Benefits of the Chorev:

Distinguishes shva nah/nach and kamatz katan.
The side of the page without trop looks exactly like the sefer torah - the Simanim has random highlights and other markings on the
"torah" side which I find distracting.
Both sides of the ...
