What's a good accurate scale to measure body fat %? It's my goal reward for losing 20 lvs but I'm not sure where to look or even what's a good brand?

I have one....but I don't really trust them. I go on how I look. ....how much fat is gone. I lost my muffin top.0

I have an Omron bf511 scale with handles and seems to be quite accurate. I recently did a BODPOD test which is supposed to be accurate and the difference in body fat % was only 0.2%0

I had a earlier version of this:

I have this one now:
http://www.omronhealthcare.com/products/hbf-514c/
its supposed to be more accurate than the ones that measure with just the feet.
And compared to my first one its more consistent when I did back to back tests.
The hand held varied about 3% to its own results and about 1% difference to the scale.
the results were never the same for both. the scale is more consistent. within .1% between 3 back to back tests.0 -
