I have one of these and I love it.  Some powders dispense better than others and I occasionally have an overweight charge but it always indicates when it is over.

I have one.  Nothing more than an expensive powder dump.  I choose to weigh every charge on a balance scale  I would say it is right on about 30% of the time.  The remaining 70% is over by .2 to .4 of a grain.  The pulse sent back to the dump from the scale is slow enough for the dump to drop extra granulars causing over run.  You can get by this by setting up the dump to dump .2 to .3 under your desired charge.   

It is nice to have the powder dumping though when I am seating a bullet.

I use one and am very impressed with its speed.  It over-dispenses about 1 in 5 times on the average.  Just takes a second to dump a grain or two back in the hopper and re-weigh it to insure its accuracy.  It really speeds up the reloading time in my book.  I also double check each load to insure its accuracy on the attached scale.
