On the subject of scales...
Has anyone bought the Ohaus w/ the dial-O-gram feature? I have used Ohaus
scales w/out this, but it looks like it would be nice to have.. Any pro or
con comments on this??
Thanks,

I've used dial-O-gram balances a long time ago in chemistry class. Not
worth the extra cost to me. I think if the time or ease of use is so
important to you, you might as well get a digital scale. But the nice
thing about the triple beam balance is that the range is large and the
accuracy is good. All in all I think they are still a really good buy.
