I have the RCBS balance type with magnetic dampening. It has a leveling foot on it, and works great. I've also had it about 35 years. I've checked it against the weight of bullets and other objects many times, and it's always VERY close - within a couple of tenths of a grain. Don't know what the electro jobs cost, but you don't really need to measure in 100ths of grains, so why pay the extra big bucks? MHO
