I've been using a PACT scale, the kind that "communicates" with RCBS' [early] electronic powder measure/thrower and have been very happy with it. However, electronic scales are delicate as I recently discovered when I dropped mine, in its padded case no less, from a height of only 12". PACT repaired it, but wouldn't you know I intended to weigh & sort a large no. of CB's before gravity did its thing. Trust me, weighing CB's on a beam balance, while accurate, is glacially slow by comparison. Btw, you may want to ask PACT whether they have any refurbished scales for sale, as new ones are now quite expensive.

I use an iBalance 201, great consistency and it has a counting feature

...generally suck.

I have both, use both.
But don't trust my electronic. So anything being weighed on it gets a once-twice-thrice weighing to make sure it isn't lying.

If I was to buy another digital, it would be one of these (http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/my-weigh-gempro-250.html).
Grains 771.72 gn 0.02 gn
Compare that to what you might be considering. (2/100ths of a grain)
Of course, that might drive some people crazy. [smilie=b:
