What NiMH 6.0V battery charger do I need?

Triton, Dymond, or FMA SuuperNova do not have "pack memory", they have 10
pre set charging modes but it is not a battery charging memory.  I agree
with the control/sophistication and ability to discharge to check the
batteries periodically.

I know this flies in the face of all those "I'm very happy with my blinking
light charger" but way too much is riding on our batteries.  I had an Ace
charger false peak and trash a new plane.  I know others that have had
similar experiences with this and other chargers.  Some very well known
names too. 

The Robbe charger, Alpha 4, Triton, Dymond, or FMA SuuperNova are all
computerized chargers with much more sophisticated monitoring and charging
techniques.  They provide LCD screens with lots of info on your battery that
could not be gained if the pack false peaked.  The cost of these is more
than a sirius, Ace, or accucycle, but not much considering the 10x
improvement in sophistication and information, and pack memory, and ability
to handle LI-ion, Nimh, Nicd, and the ability to fast charge or slow charge,
etc.

I recently purchased a Hobbico HydriMax NiMH 6.0V 1650mah battery for use in
my Smagard.  What is the best charger to use for this battery?  Will either
my JR NEC-222 charger, my ACE smart charger or my ACE Digipace III charger
work?  All of these chargers are normally used for my standard 4.8 V 1400mah
NiCad batteries. 
  
Thanks,
