Jeff,
I have a set of the stacking supply house ones and a much fancier set. I keep
coming back to the cheesy ones, with which I am actually faster than the fancy
ones. The cheap ones aren't even close to accurate, but a little drilling and
a gram scale gets them as accurate as you want. I like them for complete
weigh-off in the shop as well as quick field measurements requiring
portability.

 In the interest of fairness, my wife prefers the fancy ones.
