Thermopop is a great device, but it's more than 1 second slower, it's like 4 seconds slower. Thermapen will have a close reading within 2 seconds. Pop will take 4 or 5 to get close, and 6 to be accurate. And it's less accurate and precise.
12 chicken thighs on the grill.
Pop will have your lid open for more than a minute. Pen will be 30 seconds or less

Have to agree with Troy on this one. I have done cooks for 35 - 50 people (chicken, burgers, tri tips, etc). When you have a bunch of food on the grill(s), the fast reading and accuracy of a thermopen is a
very nice thing to have. Well worth the money.
If you just cook a couple of steaks or a single chicken every now and then a themopop is great product at a great price.
And for the record (from the Thermoworks website). Thermopen = +/- 0.7 degree with < 3 second response. Thermopop is +/- 2 degrees with a 5 to 6 second response.
