I bought a PAST battery operated digital scale many years ago the first year they came out.I gave the last balance beam scale away years ago. The PAST came with a set of check weights for checking and I have yet to ever had it register incorrectly. I weigh every charge I load and the only complaint I have for it is it's battery and every once in a while you have to replace the battery and it will be at the most inopportune time. I can't imagine a person selecting a balance beam over a digital for either accuracy or ease of use.
