Body Fat Callipers - your opinion wanted!

I have been considering purchasing body fat callipers for a while, as my struggle with the scale has come to a stalemate... I have already lost over 65 pounds, and this plateau is getting real boring... I've been fighting with it for over two years now, and I'm certain I have another 30lbs of fat to lose.
I am still killing it at the gym 5 days a week and doing workout videos or kinnect at home, as well as walking my dog and working at my physical job. There is little chance that my body won't change with all the work I've been putting in. After a few months of increased consistent effort and determination (and increased calories too), I am definitely seeing results - clothes fitting better, muscles showing through and growing, my fitness level and ability in the gym is constantly improving. The scale and the tape measure are not evidence of this whatsoever though... They have remained static, which sucks, but ok... I KNOW I'm changing for the better, and others have said so too, but I want something quantifiable for a change. Callipers, are you my answer?
So, I have read some reviews, and some say they are great, some say that are inconsistent, some say it's the best you'll get without that hydrostaticblablabla fat measuring thingamajig that costs a fortune to have done.
What are your thoughts?
I just bought one on Amazon, I hope I didn't waste my money! :P
