For the two meter theory, How about two rotameters, a stopwatch and an Abacus? Who needs electronics?
If that's what makes you happy, I suppose it would be fine.

Personally, I'd just take both figures and subtract the return from the input. I guess I can see how that would be too much of a pain, though.
