A good choice, as is also the one I am using, an O'Haus Cent-o-gram quad
beam balance (0.01 gram), currently listed in the Edmunds Scientific
catalog for about $160. And I consider these both to be inexpensive and
sufficient for the job at hand. Any electronic digital scale that is
capable of similar accuracy, tare compensation, and reliability will
likely cost more (or much more) than $500, the too expensive category.
