It *is* the Sparkfun module.

In general I am getting *repeatibility* now to a lot less than that, and 
it has been known, (pointed out of the window) to detect large objects 
at many many metres.

It is certainly more than good enough for measuring from 0-1.5 metres or 
so. to a sorta 10% accuracy.
