Thanks for the tip, Riley. With regards to gram accuracy, you might consider going to a "scientific" scale, as I don't think most kitchen scales will have that type of resolution. If you look at a scientific supply company like Fisher or Cole-Parmer, you might have some luck. However -- and I hesitate to mention this -- your best bet might be your local head shop.... I am sure they will have scales at a reasonable price. I'll let you know if I run across anything. Matt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ T.

Digital, gms/kg or oz/lbs. Think it does a kg or so. Increments of 5gm or 1/4oz. Tares with a button. I'd prefer gm accuracy, but it's handy. Gift, so I'm not sure what they cost. If you find something more accurate please let us know. Hot regards, Riley
