Food scale-what's a good brand?

hello everyone!
I started my journey this January and changed my eating habits. After having a baby I wasn't thrilled with the way I looked so I cut way back on sugars and carbs. I lost 5 lbs pretty fast and have continued to cut those back. With diet and exercise I'm down to my pre baby weight and couldn't be happier.
Now to my question... I was thinking of getting a good scale, but not sure if there's a brand better than others. This is my first post since using MFP so I apologize if this is the wrong forum.
Thank you!

This is mine. I love it because it has a large display and a really large platform to accommodate larger dishes and bowls. I had a cheaper $15 dollar version for years and it worked fine, but I wanted to upgrade. For $36 I think it's a fine deal.

This is what I have, but I bought it on Amazon. Coffee snobs use this scale -- it is crazy accurate. It goes in .5 gram increments and you can also count pieces, do ounces, lbs, etc., there are settings I'm sure I haven't even gotten into yet. I find it great for measuring though because of that nifty .5 gram increment thing.0 -
I have BalanceFrom High Accuracy Touch Multifunction Digital Kitchen Scale with Extra Large Backlight Display (Silver) from Amazon.com for well under $20. I have their bathroom scale too. Both are EXTREMELY accurate.0

I was using my postal scale and finally decided to buy one yesterday. I bought this one from BBB. I wanted one that could do ounces and grams. I tested the accuracy with some smaller weights and bearings I had to make sure it was accurate enough. This one goes up to 11lbs and you can remove the stainless steel platform to wash if needed. I used one of the 20% off one item coupons that always come in the mail and got it for 19.990 -
I have this one: http://smile.amazon.com/Etekcity-Accuracy-Multifunction-Measurement-Supported/dp/B00FE8QXT0/ref=sr_1_7?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1433724943&sr=1-7&keywords=etekcity I especially like that it goes up to 22 lb. so I can put a bowl or saucepan right on it and dump my ingredients in without needing a second bowl. Oh, and the fact that it is only $130

I have a Taylor "Biggest Loser" branded food scale from Walmart which I love. Have had it over a year, and only needed to change the batteries once. Less than $30, and it has a digital screen, tare function, and can measure in grams and ounces.0

I was given an Ozeri scale for my birthday last year. He got it from Amazon for about $25, marked down from $100. But I think the most important part of a food scale is that you use it, so pick whatever matches your kitchen and have0
