Another thing to consider when comparing thermometers is, as you have noted, is response time. Some take 10 minutes or more to get an accurate reading, some are almost instantaneous, like the one I recommended.
Since the incubator heat source cycles on and off, that can really mess with someone's head.
ETA
The instant read will fluctuate with the heat element, the slow one will be way behind. And the instant read will be much higher than the eggs when the heat element is on.
I check those at the moment the heat element cycles on and that should be close to the temperature of the eggs.
