Thanks for your thought's, Ken. The main bugaboo with the digitals I have, is that the reading jumps around when my hand gets within a few inches of the scale. I suspected it was due to a difference in potential between the scale and my body. I attached the scale and myself to a "static mat", and the problem went away. It's most prevalent in the winter, when the air up here is very dry. The inconsistencies have made me very distrusting. I'm a metrologist by profession, and for now a mechanical scale is still what I trust with my life.
