Reality check,
Why would a digital readout be more accurate than analog? And 
while we're here, what use could a string winder make of 
nearest 0.0001" accuracy anyway, assuming you could get it. 
He's using off the shelf gage sizes just like you. And if he's 
using Roslau, and you're using Mapes IG, the measurements 
won't correspond to the gage that accurately anyway. And from 
a scaling standpoint, do you know the practical difference in 
scaling by substitution of metric wire for inch based, or inch 
for metric?
