    it doesnt really matter. use the same one every time and get rid of the other one.

    even if its wrong, it will be consistently wrong so 2 pounds less is 2 pounds less.

    both and neither...all scales are going to be calibrated slightly different. Just pick one...the number isn't all that important, the trend is.

    It's just a number. Use one and stick with it to know if you're gaining/losing.

    I checked my scale by putting some of my dumbbells on it.

    If you put a 10 pound dumbbell on the scale and it says something close to 10 pounds it is probably fairly accurate.

    Just stick to one scale.
