I want to buy a beam-type scale so I started looking for online reviews. It seems like no matter what the brand, they all have lots of comments along the lines of "I have an XYZ scale from 20 years ago, and the quality of the new ones are nothing like the old ones. Best avoided unless you can find a good used one from 20 or so years ago." For example one brand that used to be metal is now plastic, another brand doesn't center or "settle" as well as the earlier model, etc.

Are there any current model powder scales around $150 or less that hold center, are repeatable, sensitive, etc? I'm not really interested in an electronic scale.
