I'm confused. Both scales look good to me but why is the $20 scale better?

You don't need to spend $20. I bought a scale for about $8 shipped. Unfortunately, I can't remember who I bought it from but if you search this website, there are other discussions about purchasing a scale. That is where I got my information from. Whoever I purchased it from was quick and inexpensive.

Well mine was about $9 shipped....so I was wondering why this one worked better given they both do grams.

I have no idea. Maybe more features? Bigger? Just want to charge more? Don't know.

Do they measure in:
0.1 grams
0.01 grams or
0.001 grams

You really need a scale that will measure to 0.01 grams for our use. One that measures to 0.001 would be even better.

I have one scale that measures to 0.001 grams for measuring small amounts and an older scale that measures to 0.1 grams for measuring larger amounts.

The one I have is to the .1 gram. Is this sufficient or do I need to go buy a different kind?
