I find more uses for my good chargers everyday. The charger for my craftsman cordless drill crapped out, so I used the 1210i to charge the 19.2 nicd packs. I charged at .5 an amp to give it a slow "balancing" charge and the result was quite good. Noticeable power difference from that pack comparted to the pack I charged on the craftsman charger...

I made a 8aa charger out of an old tq2 radio tray, but it is not cell selectable like yours...All or none...

I use my good chargers for anything that uses rechargeable batts, even if I have to do modifications. I too had a tray similar to the TQ2, but like you, I didn't like that it had to be all or nothing.
