Best Scale

I currently use an Omron (I believe it is the HBF-510, but will have to verify that). It is a couple years old and I think it is starting to give inaccurate readings more and more frequently. I weigh just about every day. In the past 3 weeks, I've had 2 results that were not right. This has happened before on unusual occasions, and the tell-tale sign is that in addition to weight being several lbs. different (which isn't unusual for most of us to fluctuate), the body fat % varies by a significant amount. That used to be rare, but I'm starting to consider replacing the scale and figuring it has been worn out.
Does anyone have any suggestions on scales? At this point, I'm thinking of upgrading to the Omron HBF-511; but would like to see if anyone knows about anything with more features that is also known to be accurate... at least for the first year or 2.

I can't say it's the best, because it's the only one I've really used.
But I use the Fitbit Alta, mainly because it works really well with the ecosystem I'm using (Fitbit, MFP and trendweight.com). It doesn't do as much on % readings as the one you have (after a quick google) but it works fine for me. My OH has a profile as do I and it works wirelessly.0
