What scale to buy for home?!

I am getting very frustrated with the scale at home and the one at my gym. They are not consistent with each other. The one at home is VERY old, which may be the case. SOOO, I'm planning on getting a new one so I can weigh in at home in the morning. Does anyone have any suggestions on what scale to purchase?

    I just got the EatSmart Precision Premium Digital Bathroom Scale. I am really liking it so far and find that it's consistent.

    I don't think the brand matters as much as using the same one each time you weight. Scales will vary, except for the uber-expensive weight-balanced ones at the doctor's office... and there isn't much you can do about it. They can vary based on what they are set on, if it's an angle, the humidity level... it's crazy.

    I like the scale I got from CostCo (Kirkland) - it large enough that my feet fit, I can clearly see the numbers, and doesn't feel like it's going to collapse under me.

    I have a health o meter similar to this one at Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Health-o-meter-Weight-Tracking-Scale-4-user/10264548

    I really like it. It always gives me the same weight no matter how many times I step on and off of it...which is great because my last scale (Weight Watchers) didn't. I could step on that thing 5 times in a row and never get the same weight. I don't know if it would be accurate w/ the gym scale or a dr's office though. It seems nothing is ever accurate w/ them!
