It's a case of they're all trying to get to the same place,but they're all trying to get there using somewhat different methods.
Though when one realizes what's going on,than that fella can get them all to put out the same numbers regardless of which calculator is being used.
This has been discussed here in the past a few times.
I know I can get all those DCR calcs to spit out the same numbers,and I'll add this,if I could'nt get them to do such,well then I would'nt trust DCR theory as far as I could throw it,and honestly I still dont put too much faith in DCR as a whole,but I'll admit it's an interesting tool to play around with just for kicks.
Do a keyword search on "DCR",that info should come up.

Agreed. I find this calculator takes the guess work out of it. It specifically states what to enter, you don't have to finagle the numbers or guess how it was developed.
